An offer is made — $20,000 in exchange for information about 24 cows branded "D — D" and 28 calves stolen from Sheridan last year. According to the USDA, a feeder cow that sold for just under $170 per hundredweight last year will now fetch about $230, making the price about $1,700 per head last year and about $2,300 per head this year. Miyamoto said there is a register for missing cattle similar to a missing persons register, but hard and fast statistics are almost impossible. Carl Clements, a district supervisor with the Wyoming Highway Patrol, said it wasn't unusual for ranchers not see cattle for weeks, which tends to delay reports of stolen cattle. The Highway Patrol handles initial calls reporting livestock theft. If they're grazing cattle on leased land with a good fence and plenty of grass and water, it can be weeks before they see the cattle again. Cattle trucks in Wyoming can be stopped at any time for a brand inspection, Clements said, and shipping papers are checked at port of entries throughout the state.
