Cattle rustling is on the rise and ranchers blame the high cost of beef for the stepped-uthievery. Ever since the beef market really began climbing about three years ago, we have had reports of cattle being stolen right out of farmers fields. said John Robinson, executive vice president of the Georgia Cattlemen's Association. Ivan Packard., assistant agriculture director for the state of Washington, said, The price of beef today and accessibility of animals and new transportation methods make stealing animals much easier ... There's been more stealing and more cattle missing in the last six months than m all of last year. Bolder Than Ever Robinson said the rustlers often drive right onto a farm at night, then use the farmers ow n loading ramp to herd the cows into a waiting truck. An Associated Press spot survey showed not only that the thieves are bolder than ever before, but also that they are using modern methods including helicopters in some cases. Dr. Harry Goldstein. Ohio state veterinarian, said his has received more complaints of rustling this year than in any of the 12 years lie's been on the job. I think it's a direct result of the high cost of cattle, he said. p A spokesman for the Illinois Agricultural Association said, We have had reports of cattle as well as hogs being stolen ...

Not everyone blamed the high cost of meat for the increase m rustling The Nebraska State Crime Commission said animal thiev ery m 1972 increased 42 per cent over the previous year, but Art Thomsen, the state's chief brand inspector, said blaming the boost on higher meat prices is a lot of hooey. Thomsen said most of the thievery is in the eastern part of the state v here feedlots are located and added. Cattle rustlers are just waking up to the fact that the feedlot is a prime target. They are realizing that most of the feedlots are located along highways. Most of them have good loading facilities which you don't normally find on the range where cattle are pastured. The cattle rustler can put these feedlot cattle m trucks ... and sell them to packing plants almost before they are missed. The consumer got some good news about prices on Sunday. In a radio speech marking the beginning of fiscal 1974, President Nixon said the price line was being held and predicted that the situation would improve when crops are harvested this fall. Nixon said farm crop prospects were generally good and dded that after the fall harvest he may be able to lift controls on soybean exports that he imposed last week v Greatest Increase Tribune Telephone Numbers' Carl Jones, an investigator for the Florida Department of Agriculture, said more beef was stolen in the first three months of this year $165,628 worth than in all of 1972 when reported losses totaled Do you need information, want sports score, have a news story or feature you want to talk about?
