Related: About this forumMissouri Rancher Suspects That Aliens Are Mutilating Her Cows
HENRY COUNTY, Mo. - A Missouri rancher is getting tired of making disturbing discoveries on her Henry County land. Lyn Mitchell said she is out of reasonable explanations for what's to blame for killing her livestock.
Mitchell said she's normally a private person, but the deaths of three of her cattle have her speaking out.
"It's just something I want some answers to," she said.
Mitchell found the first cow in December 2011.
"She had obviously been cut on the side of her jaw," Mitchell said. "Her tongue was gone, her ear was gone."
She initially assumed the animal had fallen victim to teenagers or was part of a sacrificial ritual, until earlier this month. Mitchell made the next discovery on July 9.
"I looked first to see her tongue was gone, then immediately noticed the udder had been completely removed," Mitchell said.
The reproductive organs were gone too, Mitchell said. A char mark outlining the cow's body - still visible today - made the death even more mysterious.

We have one on our house (facing only our property) because of it essentially being open from roof damage. Until that gets fixed all the way, the camera stays on.

according to news reports, and in the same "mysterious" manner.
Haven't found any reports that provided an answer to them.

(332 posts)3. I find this of interest because
About 20 years ago I worked for sheriffs dept in rural Colorado and we had a rash of these in our county. I actually went out one time with the deputies and saw a cow, it was very very strange but I don't think they ever solved the mystery.
