BRASELTON, Ga. — Authorities in northeast Georgia have a mystery on their hands after cows were found mutilated, with neatly cut circles sliced into their rear ends.
Harold Edge told investigators he found one of his Black Angus cows dead a few weeks ago.
A Jefferson County sheriff’s report obtained by The Associated Press states that Edge found another Black Angus dead Jan. 6, with what appeared to be a half-circle cut around the same area of the animal. Edge told deputies there were no bite marks or indications of animal attacks.
Hall told the Athens Banner-Herald that the cuts were clean, with no jagged edges. Jackson County sheriff’s Capt. Rich Lott said investigators can’t explain the deaths on Edge’s pasture near Braselton.
