Mounties recover cattle allegedly stolen in Alberta, but more still missing

The RCMP is asking “Where’s the beef?”

In a media release Monday, the Saskatchewan Mounties said officers are looking to round up some cattle that allegedly were stolen in February from Thorhild, Alta.

According to the RCMP, officers from the Livestock Investigations Unit determined the cattle were being transferred to Martensville and, on March 16, a search warrant was executed on properties in the RM of Corman Park.

Police said officers recovered 10 cows valued at more than $25,000 that were identified through registered Alberta Livestock Brands.

A 48-year-old man was arrested and charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. He’s scheduled to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on May 16.

However, the Mounties say they haven’t found some of the missing cattle. They’re described as Black White Face or Black Brockle Face cows bearing Alberta Livestock Brands BAR 2 V (right hip) and 6 OVER SPLIT END BAR (left hip).

Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of the cows is asked to contact RCMP Livestock Investigations at 403-598-6991 in Alberta or 306-537-9448 in Saskatchewan, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
