A Linn County man has been arrested on charges of animal neglect.
The Linn County Sheriff’s Office says two weeks ago, they received a complaint of neglected cattle on a property in rural Lisbon at 81 Linn Ridge Road. When deputies arrived, they discovered numerous dead cattle on the property.
An investigation determined that the Angus beef cattle were being neglected of shelter and care. Deputies and a local veterinarian tried working with the owner (who did not live at the property) to make sure the remaining cattle were properly cared for, but after checking back, several more cattle were found dead.

Statewide Iowa It’s the time of year when Iowans who love to sink their teeth into a juicy burger are being asked to nominate their favorite burger maker, whether it’s gourmet or down-home style.
Kylie Peterson, spokeswoman for the Iowa Beef Industry Council, says that group and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association are holding their 12th annual Iowa’s Best Burger contest. Peterson says it’s more important than ever this year, since the pandemic has hurt or forced the closure of so many restaurants.
(As above) “This contest is not only a great way to celebrate that high-quality product that Iowa’s beef farmers produce, but it also helps draw business to participating restaurants,” Peterson says. “Whether you dine in or carry out, this contest is a great way to challenge Iowans to rally their support behind restaurant owners and Iowa’s beef farmers.”
