How To Catch A Cattle Thief
Jeff We thought we had a cow stolen one time.
It was a really nice SimAngus female, tag #125, that just didn't show up one day at what we call the Loma Vista place. We searched everywhere for her but didn't find her. We had a pump jack stolen from there a few months earlier and it wasn't a leap to assume calm cow could be stolen from the place.
Two months ago, when the relatively steep tank we had installed a year before that cow went missing went dry, we found out that Allflex ear tags last quite a long time underwater.
We also figured out what happened to cow #125.
This podcast from Planet Money isn't one of those situations. It's actually an EXTREMELY interesting listen...
