200 Northern Nevada cows missing in a year

Sheriff’s deputies and state agriculture officials are investigating the disappearance of as many as 200 cows in Northern Nevada over the past year that may have been stolen by modern-day cattle rustlers across rangeland covering hundreds of square miles.
Investigators haven’t uncovered any proof that thieves took the animals, but authorities in Humboldt County say it would be an uncommonly large number of animals to have died on the range over the winter.
Fifty cows or calves were reported missing in late March and early April.
