Third cattle mutilation reported in Anderson County
The Anderson County Sheriff’s Department investigates a third cattle mutilation this year after Rollin Herynk found a 1,100-pound crossbred cow killed in his Kincaid pasture. The cow’s reproductive organs and milk bag were removed. The incident mirrors the earlier two in Mont Ida, with authorities seeking links and urging farmers to monitor herds. A veterinarian verified it was a deliberate mutilation, not animal predation.

Garnett Pet Shop Closed Over Code Violations
Garnett enforces building codes forcing Judy's Jungle pet shop to shut down. Karem Kappler opened the basement store in the Odd Fellows building at Oak and Fourth Streets in early June and cited an unpaid electrical repair burden after inspections. A July 6 deadline was set, but the shop could not afford repairs. Odd Fellows report limited funds and irregular meetings, while the rental agreement required improvements. The city aims to update rental properties when ownership changes occur. Kappler hopes to restart elsewhere.
