Trigg sheriff warns of attempts to steal cattle

The Trigg County Sheriff's Office is advising farmers to count their cattle after learning of attempts to steal the animals from a local farm.

Sheriff Aaron Acree said a bullet and shell casing were recovered from a farm after someone attempted to steal cattle. 

After reports of cattle thefts in surrouding counties, the sheriff's office is advising farmers to count and check on their livestock on a daily basis.

A similar incident took place in Marshall County last month, when 21 head of cattle were reported stolen from a farm just outside of Benton.
