They do. Problem is, these aren't going to auction.... In Colorado, every single head of livestock that goes thru a sale barn here, is brand inspected, and has to show proof of ownership.
That's good, barns here in Kansas, and I can think of 2-3 within 100 miles of me, don't all have brand inspectors anymore.
That's a chunk of cattle, you would think unless there going to a farm finish deal surely somehow they'll turn up, KLMA here would have sent out a notification but I don't guess feedlots and packers get or care about the notifications on stolen cattle. Sad situation.
