What is the worst set back you have had? I have never had a real bad one. My friend in Madisonville had all of his cows stolen last Tuesday. About 30 cows, I have no idea of their value. I'm sure divorces have whipped a lot of guys asses. Just curious!
Looks to be an ongoing problem there.
http://www.kbtx.com/content/news/String-of-cattle-thefts-hit-Madison-County-388214142.htmlThey need to start killin' some rustlers and leaving them by their cattle trailers.
That'll deter it.
Speaking of killing rustlers, read Col. Chas. Askins Jr's account of his trip with "old man" Cox into Mexico to take care of cattle thieves and recover stolen cattle. It's in Unrepentant Sinner, the Col. autobiography. Interesting read. The Cox ranch was in S.E. NM, north of El Paso, near where the White Sands Missile Range is today.
No mention of the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Assn (TSCRA)?
They're a good bunch to solve such things. We had affiliation with TSCRA when I was in the cattle business in Louisiana. They had a good reputation, probably still do.
