Hunt for cattle thieves as Angus cows and bulls stolen
Dozens of Angus cows and bulls have been stolen from a Western Downs paddock where police have described cattle theft as a “deplorable act”.
The alarm was raised after a recent muster failed to locate about 31 Angus cows and two bulls in a remote paddock at Burncluith, north of Chinchilla.
Police say initial investigations indicate the livestock were takenĀ between March 8 and May 30.
The missing cattle have a distinctive brand which looks like a number eight inside a tent, police said.
