POLICE are looking for a cattle farmer after 23 missing cows were found on his Backlands Savannah, Bloomfield Village, Corentyne, Berbice ranch on Monday.

The discovery was made after cattle farmer, Nandkishore Tagram of Number 62 Village, Corentyne, Berbice, lodged a stolen or strayed cattle report last Friday at the Number 62 Police Outpost.

The farmer, according to a police release, claimed that 40 heads of his cattle, including calves branded with his registered brand DON14, went missing after he left them to graze outside his ranch at the Number 62 Village Backlands.

Acting on information received last Sunday, two police ranks went to a ranch located in the Backlands Savannah of Bloomfield Village, Corentyne, but were prevented from gaining entry by the owner. The aim of the visit was to check to see if the missing animals were there.

The following day, a larger party of police returned to the ranch owned by the Letter Kenny Village, Corentyne resident and on arrival, he and some of his workers fled.
Some 23 missing cows, including three calves belonging to Tagram, were found and a 27-year-old of Tain Village, Corentyne, is in custody assisting with the investigation, the police release said.
