Police are trying to determine who shot a calf, took the meat and left the carcass behind. The Janesville Gazette reported that the calf, weighing about 400 pounds, was shot with a small-caliber bullet and then slaughtered between noon Saturday and when it was found at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday. The calf’s mother was found bellowing near its offspring in a pasture.
And, because Google is kind of amazing, there’s also this 60-year-old gem, also from the Janesville Gazette:
CALF’S STOMACH YIELDS $850 — Bank officials Hazel Martin and C. G. Webb (left) count $850 found in the stomach of a calf belonging to W. G. Dinsmore (right) shown examining another calf that swallowed the rest of the missing $890, lost by Dinsmore on his farm near Roswell, Ga. He shot one calf and found nothing but grass inside. He shot another calf and recovered the $850. He suspects the rest of the money was eaten by the third calf, but did not kill it because he felt the calf was worth that.
