It was in the early 70’s. My husband was a USDA Forest Service Ranger at the time. He got a phone call early one morning from a rancher. (we were buying timber from him for some local sawmills to harvest) He wanted him to come look at a calf carcass he had just found on his ranch. I was friends with his wife so I went with him.
The calf carcass was lying on its back. It was totally eviscerated from rectum to snout. Internal organs, eyeballs, tongue surgically removed. The cuts were clean, almost laser like. The grass around the carcass was not trampled, it was like the carcass was just dropped there. The oddest thing, to me, was that there were no flies nor insects around.
The local newspaper came out and took pictures and wrote an article.
The night before, the police department was flooded with calls about sightings over the Black Hills.
Cattle mutilations have been going on in the Southwest for decades. No one can explain them, no one ever seems to witness it happening and in the age of trail cameras and other video recording devices there isn’t any photo evidence of a mutilation happening and yet it still occurs. The government doesn’t seem to care about this horribly occurring phenomemnom . Poor animals being butchered like that and ranchers losing precious live stock.
