Information needed in reference to dead calf found near Ash Fork
ASH FORK, Ariz. - Coconino County Sheriff's Office deputies and an Arizona Department of Agriculture Livestock Inspector are requesting assistance from the community in identifying and locating an individual or individuals responsible for killing a 6-month-old black angus cross heifer calf on the Randall Ranch. The dead calf was found on July 27 in the area of the Kaibab Estates West neighborhood close to Woodland Road. At the time it was located the calf appeared to have been dead for about 24 hours. The animal was valued at $800 and investigators are looking into the possibility that a rifle was used to shoot it multiple times.
Investigators believe the calf lived for some time and it obviously suffered a great deal. When the carcass was discovered the calf's mother was still standing close by it. Unlawful killing of livestock is a class five felony and an additional charge may be animal cruelty.
Anyone with information regarding this unlawful killing of livestock is urged to call the Arizona Department of Agriculture at 1-800-294-0305 or the Coconino County Sheriff's Office at (928) 774-4523 or 1-800-338-7888 or Flagstaff/Coconino Silent Witness at (928) 774-6111.
