JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office says there have been no new updates on the large-scale cattle deaths that were reported in 2021.
The Sheriff’s Office and North Dakota Stockmen’s Association (NDSA) called for the public’s assistance in the investigation, but Deputy Jason Falk says no new information has come through at this time.
On July 29th, 2021, more than 58 cows of 138 were found dead in a pasture leased for grazing on the Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge.
Stutsman County Sheriff’s Department Investigator Jason Falk reports the cattle deaths may or may not be linked to two fires that were reported in Mid-April 2021 on the Brian Amundson ranch.
NDSA, along with other organizations, formed a $40,000 reward for information on the case.
