Items missing include a 20-foot Gooseneck stock trailer, nine calves, two roping saddles and other tack items.

“I pulled up at 7 a.m. the morning of Oct. 1 and the first thing I noticed was that the gate was open,” Stobaugh said. “I noticed the gate was open and the calves were gone.

Stobaugh said the value of the items is about $9,500. He has searched area pawn shops and the Benton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.

“There are too many good people out here. I don’t want to see them do it to other people,” he said, adding that anyone with information about the theft may call him at 633-5902.
