OKEMAH, Okla. -- Investigators are searching for information after a bull was shot and killed north of Okemah.
On June 16, 2017, an unidentified person fired several rounds which wounded a Black Angus bull. The shots permanently disabled the animal.

It is believed the shots were fired into the pasture from a nearby road, located about one mile north of Okemah.
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Ranger Bart Perrier and Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agents are investigating the incident.
A cash reward of up to $500 is available to anyone who provides investigators with information leading to an arrest in the case. Anyone with information should call the TSCRA's "Operation Cow Thief" hotline at 888-830-2333.
