TSCRA investigates Oklahoma, Texas livestock and equipment thefts
TSCRA special rangers are investigating cases of livestock, truck and trailer thefts from Texas and Oklahoma. Thieves took advantage of an unlocked gate to steal more than 70 head in one case. In another case, thieves made off with a horse trailer from an Exposition Center parking lot.
TSCRA's special rangers investigate cases like these, and more, every day for members and non-members in Texas and Oklahoma. If you can help them with tips, you might be eligible for a cash reward through Operation Cow Thief.
To report information on these or other cases, call the special ranger associated with the case, or contact Larry Gray, TSCRA executive director of
law enforcement, 800/242-7820, ext. 112. Your help is invaluable to the association and to the cattle producing community.
