The Madison County Sheriff’s Office released a statement on Facebook concerning the discovery as the cows were mutilated precisely. Still, no leftover evidence could indicate who would kill the animals: ‘A straight, clean cut, with apparent precision, had been made to remove the hide around the cow’s mouth on one side, leaving the meat under the removed hide untouched.’ The statement reads that the tongue was also completely removed from the body with no blood spill.
Additionally, there was no sign of a struggle, and authorities said whoever killed the cows didn’t leave any footprints or tire marks. Metro UK said the cattle’s remains were untouched and decayed for weeks.

A similar attack involved four adults and one calf near State Highway from Brazos County to Robertson County. Despite the attacks happening in different locations, the cows were cut similarly as they were lying on one side, their exposed face cut alongside the jawline, and the tongues were completely removed.
‘On two of the five cows, a circular cut was made removing the anus and the external genitalia,’ the office wrote. ‘This circular cut was made with the same precision as the cuts noted around the jaw lines of each cow. Multiple similar incidents have been reported across the United States and we are actively coordinating with other agencies to find answers,
The mysterious cattle killings have led people to create conspiracy theories, especially asking why the animals were targeted.

It’s “alien cow autopsy” time again. When plain old UFO sightings don’t work as distraction from a collapsing empire, they trot this out. Seen it before.

However, this is not the first time there have been incidents involving cattle in Texas.
A free cow caused a traffic backup on Interstate 45 in Houston, Texas, in 2018. The cow had escaped from a local stockyard and went onto the expressway, causing several hours of delays until authorities could capture and remove it from the road. Another incident involving a cow was in 2017 when a cow in San Antonio, Texas, a cow became trapped in a backyard swimming pool. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene to assist in rescuing a cow that had reportedly wandered into the pool area and fallen in. A harness and a crane eventually brought the cow out of the pool.
