Cattle Watch: Steers missing from northwest Arkansas

Investigators are asking for help locating nearly 20 steers branded with an S – F on their right hip that were stolen from a Gentry, Ark., ranch sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning.

The steers, weighing between 650 and 850 pounds, were ready for sale. A red and white longhorn cross, two Holsteins, and about 17 black steers are missing. In addition to the S – F brand, the cattle may still have yellow age and source ear tags registered with the USDA ranging from 000004243 to 000004322.

Anyone with information regarding the missing cattle should contact Investigator Audrey Thompson by phone at (479) 271-1009 or email: athompson@co.benton.ar.us.
