With the discussions of the various under or inner earth dwellers and some
of the interesting discussions on "vampires" and such creatures from Harry
Hubbard's videos previously discussed, this article is particularly
interesting. Very much pulls one back to Mike Mott's book "Caverns,
Cauldrons, and Concealed Creatures: A Study of Subterranean Mysteries in
History, Folklore, and Myth" and all of our other discussions.
Also, please note, if you've not had a chance to view the remarkable
documentaries by David Paulides titled "Missing 411" and "Missing 411: The
Hunted", you would do yourself a great service in viewing both of those and
thinking about this in relation to those:

'Not One Drop Of Blood': Cattle Mysteriously Mutilated In Oregon
October 8, 20191:28 PM ET
In the early morning light, dust from hooves creates a fog at Silvies
Valley Ranch in remote eastern Oregon. Cowboys whistle and talk low to
their eager herding dogs. They're moving the cattle from one vast,
sage-studded range to another.
Five young purebred bulls mysteriously showed up dead on the ranch this
past summer, drained of blood and with body parts precisely removed.
The ranch's vice president, Colby Marshall, drives his truck down a U.S.
Forest Service road.
"Then we'll get out and take a little walk to where one of the bulls was
found. And the carcass is still there," Marshall says.
Coming upon one of the dead bulls is an eerie scene. The forest is hot and
still, apart from a raven's repeating caw. The bull looks like a giant,
deflated plush toy. It smells. Weirdly, there are no signs of buzzards,
coyotes or other scavengers. His red coat is as shiny as if he were going
to the fair, but he's bloodless and his tongue and genitals have been
surgically cut out.
Marshall says these young livestock were just reaching their top value as
breeding bulls. The animals are worth around $6,000 each. And since these
were breeding bulls, hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of future
calves were lost too.
Finding these young Herefords in this remote country can sometimes take the
ranch's experienced cowboys days. Ranch staff members are now required to
ride in pairs and are encouraged to carry arms.
"It's rugged," Marshall says. "I mean this is the frontier. If some person,
or persons, has the ability to take down a 2,000-pound range bull, you
know, it's not inconceivable that they wouldn't have a lot of problems
dealing with a 180-pound cowboy."
Theories abound
Harney County Sheriff's Deputy Dan Jenkins has been working the cattle
cases and has gotten dozens of calls from all over offering tips and
suggestions.
"A lot of people lean toward the aliens," Jenkins says. "One caller had
told us to look for basically a depression under the carcass. 'Cause he
said that the alien ships will kinda beam the cow up and do whatever they
are going to do with it. Then they just drop them from a great height."
Jenkins says the cases have been tough, with little evidence and no
credible leads.
On his whiteboard, he has a running list scrawled in green marker with the
top theories. What's clear: It isn't bears, wolves, cougars or poisonous
plants. Nor were the animals shot.
The FBI won't confirm or deny that it's looking into the multiple
slaughters.
Two years ago and 200 miles south, near New Princeton, Ore., one of Andie
Davies' cows was also found cut up and bloodless.
She and her husband drove concentric circles around the corpse, but they
never found any tracks.
And in this dusty country, "everything you do leaves tracks," Davies says.
Back in the 1980s, one of Terry Anderson's mother cows was mysteriously
killed overnight. Standing at his ranch near Pendleton, Ore., Anderson
points to the exact spot where he found her on top of a mountain.
He remembers his cow lying dead, her udder removed with something razor
sharp.
"And not one drop of blood anywhere," Anderson says.
He has never gotten over it.
"It's just left a really strange feeling with me since that day. You can't
explain it," Anderson says. "And, you know, no one else has been able to
explain it."
The Harney County Sheriff's Office continues to field calls on the
killings. And Silvies Valley Ranch has put up a $25,000 reward for
information that could solve the case.
