Walt Morrell lost one round hay bale to fire on Jan. 29, on property adjacent to Barney and Shay Esbeck’s. (See our previous post about the Esbeck hay and tractor fire HERE.)
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
In a separate incident, he lost one round hay bale, plus gates and fencing, and a brass mail box, which were stolen about two months ago.
Mr. Morrell thinks it is the same vandals responsible for both instances.
He is now missing two calves and is offering $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever took them. He does not know if the same people are involved in the theft of the calves and the arson.
These are Lowline Angus calves valued at $5,000 each. They were in a pasture in the same location as the first hay bale.
Call the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office at 663-2031 or 663-2149 with any information that could help.
