Man Arrested for Neglecting Cattle, Leaving Several to Die
An Eastern Iowa man has been taken into custody for allegedly neglecting numerous cattle, letting them die.
The case began on February 11th, when the Linn County Sheriff received a complaint that Angus beef cattle were being neglected on a farm on Linn Ridge Road, in rural Lisbon.
Responding deputies found a number of cattle dead on the property. A veterinarian from the Iowa Department of Agriculture determined that the animals did not have food and shelter, and were not receiving proper care.
The owner was given a chance to properly take care of the rest of his herd, however when authorities re-checked the property several days later, they found more dead cattle.
