In west central North Dakota, there has been an increase in reports of stolen newborn calves, according to the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association. Chief brand inspector Corby Ward urges producers to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the NDSA or local law enforcement. The NDSA is offering a reward of up to $14,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of livestock thieves. Ward advises producers to be aware of unfamiliar vehicles in their area and to take precautions to protect their animals. Livestock theft can have significant financial implications for farmers and ranchers, making it important for them to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity promptly. The NDSA is committed to working with law enforcement to address this issue and protect the livelihoods of producers in the region.
