“It was killed in the same pasture where, earlier this week, two cows were shot and injured and, over the past couple of weeks, five other animals were killed and 30 others went missing,” the press release states.

It was worth approximately $3,000, and “a registered blue roan mare of the noted Hancock breeding,” per the release.
