A John Bradshaw TSCRA Special Ranger
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS MAN TURNED HIMSELF IN TO AUTHORITIES AND WAS CHARGED WITH third degree felony theft of livestock and second degree felony theft of livestock
from the elderly on May 4, after stealing 144 head of cattle from 2 ranchers in the northern part of Texas. Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) Special Ranger John
Bradshaw led the investigation. TSCRA Special Ranger Wayne Goodman and Texas Game Warden Chris Dowdy assisted during the investigation. Bradshaw received a phone call from Dowdy on July 2, 2014, regarding suspi-
cious activity by the suspect, Jerry Dean Kulow, 56, of North Richland Hills. Kulow worked as a ranch foreman for one of the victims, a rancher in Boyd. Kulow’s boss had requested that he sell some cattle at the livestock auction on
numerous occasions, and it was revealed that Kulow had made many trips to the Johnson County Cattle Auction in Cleburne. Records revealed he sold about 95 head of cattle, but he never gave the proceeds to the owner. The second victim was having issues with his cattle getting onto the property

that Kulow was managing. The property is divided by the Trinity River, which was holding only a small volume of water at the time. The cattle could easily cross the barrier. Kulow’s boss had given him $3,000 for materials to construct a new fence between the two properties, but Kulow never built the fence and the location of the money is unknown. The investigation revealed that some of the cattle Kulow sold actually belonged
to the neighboring rancher. Bradshaw recovered and returned 35 cows and 7 calves to the victim. A bull, 5 cows and a calf were later recovered from a different loca- tion north of Boyd. Kulow stole 144 cattle worth about $98,000 from his boss and the neighboring
Joe Roberts TSCRA Special Ranger
rancher. Kulow was questioned by Bradshaw and confessed to the crime. He did not provide information on where the money went. Bradshaw, with the assistance of Goodman, obtained banking records showing that Kulow had only deposited 2 checks from the sale of cattle. One check was from Decatur Livestock Market and the other was from Johnson County Cattle Auction. TSCRA would like to thank Dowdy and the Wise County District Attorney’s Of- fi ce for their assistance with this investigation.
