Farmers Urged to Brand Livestock After Theft
Sheriff Owen W. Kilday warned farmers and ranchers to brand all livestock following the theft of a cow and calf from B. J. Baumgarten's Sutherland Springs farm. The unbranded animals were taken after cutters damaged a barbed wire fence, making tracing difficult. Farmers were urged to reinforce branding to aid law enforcers against black market operators.
