More Than 1,100 Cattle Missing From Texas Dairy Facility

Officials are investigating how 1,121 cattle went missing from a dairy facility in the northeast Texas Panhandle.

The Amarillo Globe-News reports the steer calves were discovered missing during an annual inventory by Braum's Dairy.

The cattle were taken from Braum's 24,000-acre facility near Follett, located about 150 miles northeast of Amarillo.

Laramie Adams, a spokesman for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, which is investigating the disappearance, said it's unclear when the calves, valued at about $1.4 million, were taken.

Adams said the investigation has been made more difficult because Braum's doesn't have photos of the animals and the calves weren't branded.

A reward of $10,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and indictment of those responsible for the theft.
