Another case of mysterious cattle mutilations occurred on a ranch north of Williams in Arizona (USA).
According to Williams-Grand Canyon News, rancher John Mahan discovered the bodies of two of his animals, a cow and a bull, in the juniper bushes in early September.
At first, Mahan thought that the cattle had been shot by one of the local hooligans, but when he began to examine the bodies, he realized that this was not a common crime, since both animals were severely mutilated.
Both the cow and the bull were killed in one night. In the bull, the penis and scrotum, as well as part of the skin and one ear were removed using precise and accurate incisions. The cow also had the ear and part of the skin cut off, and the uterus was also cut out.
Also, all the blood was completely pumped out of the bodies of both animals, but only a few small bloody spots were found on the ground next to the bodies.
No human or car tracks were found near the carcasses. Both bodies were lying in a juniper to the side of the old road, on which now almost no one drives. Moreover, the cow was greatly entangled in the bushes, as if unsuccessfully in fear was trying to escape from something.
66-year-old John Mahan has lived on this ranch for several decades. He breeds horses and keeps a small herd of cattle. He happened to see the bodies of animals, which were attacked by local predators - coyotes and cougars, and which later became a dinner for scavengers - ravens and vultures. But all this was nothing like a recent incident.
On September 8, John Mahan drove into the pasture to his small herd of 15 cows to gather the animals together and separate from them the 18-month-old Angus bull, whom he wanted to brand. On the spot, he found out from the shepherd that the bull had disappeared into some unknown place last week and that one pregnant cow had disappeared with it.
Mahan became alarmed and went with his family members in search of animals. They spent the whole weekend searching and on September 10, they smelled a heavy putrid smell by the old road. After a quick search, they found the carcass of a bull, and a few meters away a cow lay in the bushes.

After discovering the mutilated animals, Mahan turned to Inspector Reidhead, who has been working in the field for the past two years, for help. According to the inspector, there have already been similar cases of mysterious killing of cows in the area over the past two years.
Reidhead carefully examined the area near the bodies with a metal detector in search of cartridges or their fragments and found nothing, that is, the cows were not killed with firearms.
Raidhead also noted the strange feature that the carcasses of the animals were not in the least affected by scavengers.
Raidhead continued his investigation in the following days, but he never solved the mystery. He did not find any presence of people near the bodies and says that whoever it was, they were great professionals.
The inspector also said that since 2016, as he has been working on this site in Arizona, he has already seen several such cases. And earlier he encountered a similar one on other farms in the state.
Cases of cattle mutilation have been recorded in North and South America for many decades and have the same distinguishing features: surgically precise incisions, removal of genitals, blood and ears, Ufologists blame aliens for this, conducting some kind of their own incomprehensible experiments. Conspiracy theorists believe that secret special services are behind all this.
