STRATFORD, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — Seven pregnant cows have been returned to a Stratford farm.
The cows are collectively worth around $15,000, and they were found on another farm about thirty miles from Maple Ridge Dairy. Brian Forrest, the owner of Maple Ridge, believes that the cows were stolen, but no charges have been filed.
Forrest tells Newsline 9 the older cows have lost some weight but overall they’re all in good condition. The Marathon County Sheriff’s Department declined to comment on their investigation.
The cows were part of a group of 30 cows that had gotten loose back on October 4th, though Forrest is sure that all of the gates had been closed. The farm crew found that seven cows were still missing once they took inventory on October 17th.
