Reward Offered in Case of Stolen Tractor and Equipment

EUSTACE, Texas — Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Special Ranger Jimmy Dickson and local authorities are seeking information regarding the theft of farm and ranch equipment from a property near Eustace, Texas. Investigators believe this theft may be related to others in the Henderson County area.
Operation Cow Thief, an anti-theft initiative led by TSCRA, is offering a cash reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the person or persons responsible for the crime.
Sometime between Oct. 13 and Oct. 14, 2016 an unidentified suspect or suspects cut a gate lock to unlawfully enter a property located off Farm to Market Road 2709. A 2011 Massey Ferguson MF1529 tractor, lowboy trailer and Bosch miter saw were stolen. Oddly, the thieves also took food from a refrigerator, but left it in a nearby pasture.
The case is being investigated by the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department with the assistance of TSCRA’s Special Rangers. Anyone with further information leading to the recovery of the items or the arrest of a suspect or suspects should call TSCRA’s Operation Cow Thief hotline at (888) 830-2333 or Special Ranger Jimmy Dickson at (903) 586-8733. All information is kept confidential and tips may be provided anonymously.
###
TSCRA has 30 special rangers stationed strategically throughout Texas and Oklahoma who have extensive knowledge of the cattle industry and are trained in all facets of law enforcement. All are commissioned as Special Rangers by the Texas Department of Public Safety and/or the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
TSCRA is a 140-year-old trade association and is the largest and oldest livestock organization based in Texas. TSCRA has more than 17,500 beef cattle operations, ranching families and businesses as members. These members represent approximately 55,000 individuals directly involved in ranching and beef production who manage 4 million head of cattle on 76 million acres of range and pasture land primarily in Texas and Oklahoma, but throughout the Southwest.
