69 cows vanish on slaughtering day

STJARNHOV, Sweden, - Police in Sweden said they are searching for 69 cows that vanished from a farm on the day they were to be slaughtered.

Farmer Claes Roempke, 47, of Stjarnhov, said he was baffled by the disappearance of the cows, which he valued at about $107,600, Swedish news agency TT/The Local.se reported Friday.

"When I opened the gate, I saw the animals were gone," Roempke said. "I have no idea where they've been taken. I hope they are alive and are OK."

Police said they are investigating the incident.

"We have the ID number of all the cows and will match them with the Jordbruksverket (the Swedish Board of Agriculture) register," police spokesman Thomas Tellebro said. "But it is hard to get hold of people during the Christmas holiday period."

He said it is unlikely the thieves took the cows to a slaughterhouse.

"It's not easy to get rid of cows. If someone comes with 69 cows to a typical slaughterhouse, the cows must be registered and that's how the slaughterhouse sees where the cows came from," Tellebro said.

Very nice. The ‘50’s were great! (Even if air conditioning wasn’t the norm yet) The best decade IMHO, followed by the 1790’s, 1820’s and 1920’s, although I only have first hand knowledge of the 1950’s.

Interesting. The driver of the camera vehicle swerves to the right to miss the stupid cows crossing the road. The huge logging truck swerves to the right around the camera vehicle and (probably) smushes the two innocent cows in the field.
