SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. – Bedford County Sheriff Randall Boyce says more than 60 cows have been found dead on one piece of property.
Authorities expect to charge a Wartrace man with aggravated animal cruelty and improperly disposing of dead animals.
The sheriff said he believes more cows will die.
Boyce said that authorities in Coffee County informed his office about dead cattle in their jurisdiction and wondered if Bedford County had a similar case.
Boyce told the Shelbyville Times-Gazette that many of the cows appeared starved on the 3,000 acres of property.
