NY Farmer Returns from Errand to Find 12 Cows Missing
ELLENBURG DEPOT, N.Y. (AP) -- A northern New York farmer says someone made off with his prized heifers in broad daylight when he was away for a couple of hours on an errand.
Conrad Frennier and his wife returned to their Ellenburg Depot farm Wednesday afternoon after a last-minute doctor's appointment in Plattsburgh. They found 12 of their best young cows had been stolen from inside the barn.
A neighbor reported seeing two trucks with cattle trailers ascend the couple's winding driveway and then speed away about 15 minutes later.
Five of the missing heifers had been shown by the Frenniers at the Clinton County Fair. The estimated value of the cows is $15,000.
State Police ask anyone with information to call the Plattsburgh barracks at 518-563-3761.
