Tim Hunter said the cows were shot Saturday morning as they were lying next to their feed bunks. Neighbors heard the shots, but didn’t think much of it because it was at the end of deer season.
Hunter estimated the cows’ value at about $3,600. The cows would have calved in February.
Hang-gliders who use Hunter’s field are offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
