Idaho authorities are investigating a series of livestock shootings across Gooding, Jerome, Jefferson and Payette counties that have left multiple cattle dead and ranchers facing thousands of dollars in losses.
At least three cattle have been confirmed unlawfully killed, while eight deaths remain under investigation as officials work to determine whether the incidents are connected. Idaho State Brand Inspector Cody Burlile called the shootings a serious crime affecting ranching families and their livelihoods. Investigators are seeking information from anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in remote grazing areas.
If you have any information, contact the state brand inspector at 208-884-7070 or email contactbrands@isp.idaho.gov. The Idaho Cattle Association is offering a reward for information leading to arrests.
