Summary
In October 2022, dozens of cattle were found dead under mysterious circumstances on U.S. Forest Service property along Colorado's Western Slope. Although initially believed to have involved wolf depredation, as officials closed the investigation earlier this year, there was no evidence to support the presence of any kind of predator, and the cause of the strange deaths remains unknown.
This week, in the aftermath of the mysterious spate of cattle deaths that baffled ranchers in Colorado last year, we present the results of an investigation based on official documents and interviews with investigators who worked to track down an unknown, "invisible" livestock killer on this week's episode of The Micah Hanks Program.
