ODY JOSEPH PORTER, 31, SPERRY, OKLA., WAS SENTENCED on Aug. 19 to 10 years in prison. He was arrested in
July 2015 on 4 counts of knowingly concealing stolen cattle at his home. Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association
(TSCRA) Special Ranger Bart Perrier, along with Osage County authorities, investigated the 2015 case where 3 victims reported the thefts of calves from area pastures. On July 25, 2015, Perrier received a call from Osage
County Sheriff’s Deputy Jesse Brewer who was at the home of Porter. Perrier responded to the scene, where the authorities noticed 14 young calves in a pen. Many of the calves matched the descriptions of the ones re- cently reported stolen. Several had unique markings and were easily identifi able. Based on the observations, a search warrant was

County District Court and was sentenced to a total of 10 years in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. He was ordered to serve 4 years of the sentence incar- cerated and 6 years suspended. “This case is a perfect example of agencies working
together to recover stolen livestock and hold thieves accountable for their crimes,” says Perrier. TSCRA would like to thank the Osage County
