Rural crime warns Collingsworth County rustling surge
County attorney Charles Carter urges cattle owners to guard property after thefts rise. Tips include frequent stock counts, neighbor checks, clear permanent marks such as hot iron brands with ear tattoos, posting only after marking stock, securing fences and gates with 3/8 inch locks, and avoiding serial-number exposure. Also notes church sale July 22 and a visit by Gilbreth family to Memphis Nursing Home.
