The Montrose County Sheriff's Office is asking the public for help finding 180 unaccounted-for missing cattle.

Sergeant Chuck Searcy said Thursday that most of the missing cattle are calves.

Searcy said that this was a “red flag.”

“Why would only calves be missing? That tends to [law enforcement] that they're more likely stolen than just missing,” he said. “At the same time, [law enforcement] can't account for everyone and don't know if one didn't get killed by a mountain lion.”
