check with the sherrif, see what abandooned livestock law is locally. Health check may be needed as noted. Couple possibilities- someone with a loose gate on stock trailer came up one cow short at destination and doesn"t know quite where cow could get away- and driver may have marked it as a statisticly expected death in transit, collected insurance. Next possible- seasonal prank for the Samhain got away from drunk college students and cow may not have been reported stolen yet- is it dry?- then may have been out to remote pasture and not checked/counted daily. Third possible: tight times and somebody can"t feed pet, take with after a foreclosure so they decided to find a "good home" for old pet, 4H, FFA project and your address came up as good home with company for "lost" cow- is it friendly, halter broke?- check with fair grounds , farm youth groups. Another possible: owner has recently died and cow has wandered off looking for food, water, and bovine company- no report stolen/lost because owner is dead-- and maybe nearest relative decided mother"s cow isn"t going to slaughter house. Other possible: stolen cow that got away in transit and maybe from out of state, stolen report won"t be available awhile. Teasing Alert! last possible- the "brown" cow saw that deer hunting season was close and decided to hide out until hunters with poor eyesight out of field, decided to hide in your herd for cover. Some people that leave homes after loss of job will release horses, hogs, sheep as well as cats and dogs- a released cow wouldn"t be a surprise. Ohio river valley has some released, escaped domestic and some exotics wandering around, Emus supposed to be a breeding population now and causing some traffic accidents there, feral hogs a problem in S E Wisconsin, some goats in southern Illinois also. Have fun figuring out what happened, beware of naming new herd member, get back when you figure it out or Sherrif says yours after 90 days. RN
