Well this guy is a straight out crook, even had the balls to steal cattle from the Mob! One of the brand inspectors we dealt with said he grassed yearlings for a family that is part of the Mob in Eastern Canada and he stole 300 yearlings. Few weeks later a neighbour was at his place trying to get money for a silage bill and 2 black SUV's and a black sedan drove into the yard and some pretty intimidating guys got out so he left. A week later there were yearlings back on the pasture that they went missing off of. Another story we heard was that a guy from Alberta owned some land beside him and put it all up as silage and tried to sell it to him but he wasnt interested so the guy put it in the paper. He was living in Alberta at the time and got the Silage sold, went there to show the guy who purchased it where it was and the whole pile was gone, couldnt prove anything though. A friend of mine told me another story that they had a trailer break down on the highway by this guys place so they asked if they could run these rodeo bulls off and keep them in his feedlot till they got the trailer fixed, well they came back 2 days later for the bulls and he said 4 had died! But couldnt show them the carcasses, said the coyotes ate em already! Another friend of mine stopped in there to check on some cattle he had on feed there in this guys feedlot, it was later at nite and the gates to the feed alley was closed so he climbed over and walked to the pen where his cattle were, well this guy had his own calves on feed as well and the gates to all their pens were open and they were out in the feed alley eating feed out of the bunks! He was charging other guys feed that his cattle were eating. So this guy stopped in a few more times to see if maybe they just got out and sure as heck the gates were open every time he came there after dark and the cattle were eating out of all the bunks of custom fed cattle! We talked to a whole bunch of other people who claimed this guy stole their cattle, bulls, grassers, and no one could prove anything. Haha best story we heard was that crime stoppers put an ad on the radio saying that someone had stole a few pallets of wire and a few bundles of fence posts from a local farm supply store and they were looking for information, sure as **** 3 weeks to a month later this guy puts up a brand new fence around the land we ended up renting! He had a herd dispersal at a local auction mart a few years back and they brought in 5 or 6 brand inspectors to clip every animal and check every single brand, and supposedly they couldnt find any stolen animals. It just so happens that in our province (Saskatchewan) and to the west(Alberta) there is brand inspection, but in the province to the east of us(Manitoba) there is no brand inspection, so it isnt hard for cattle thieves to steal cattle, take em to the next province and sell them and never get caught!
