Another mutilation in Oregon. This one is receiving national attention on
the wire [www.miamiherald.com]
just as the 5 bulls last July (2019) that started this topic. But what is of interest is
there were two other mutilations, a cow near Hampton, Oregon (September 2019)
and a bull on the same Fossil ranch (December 2019) that didn't get near the publicity...
so I missed them both at the time.

Mutilations that don't get reported (or reported late) seems to be typical elsewhere in the country also:

"Many cattle mutilation cases allegedly go unreported."

After seeing the photo of this cow found north of Hampton, I took another look at the photo of the one I saw east of
Seneca [imgur.com]
A few similarities: both are female Herefords, both were on leased National Forest land, and both have hide removed from
the underside of the the rib cage.

The 5 Hereford bulls belonging to the Silvies Ranch were also found on leased
government land, but I can't find anything more specific on the Hunt Ranch in Fossil other than the cow is an Angus.
As of today, all 8 cases are unresolved and no clues as to exactly how the animals died.

Here is the opinion of a person who has spent a lot of hours investigating mutilations:
[www.santafenewmexican.com]
"But after all these decades, Perkins, 69, says he really doesn’t know who or what is responsible for the mutilations."

There is something wrong with virtually every theory as Perkins says. For a science starter, I'd like to see a group of
people lift a 1/2 ton Angus cow from the position of the two Herefords above (Hampton and Seneca) to an on-it's-knees position
(as found on the Hunt Ranch) without leaving a trace of disturbance in the ground around it.
