>. . . The men were originally accused of bleaching penises and other shapes onto the bodies of 189 of their neighbor’s heifers and six of his bulls to get the neighbor’s attention after three years of the cattle crossing onto their land. >The case started June 21 when the cattle’s owner, Philip Habeck, contacted the Crook County Sheriff’s Office to complain about the bleaching, which had allegedly knocked thousands of dollars off the cows’ total value. >An experienced livestock seller estimated each of the bleached animals was worth $500 to $700 less per head. He said after checking with buyers, the cattle that would’ve been worth about $2,600 per head was instead worth about $1,850. >Had the charges not been dropped and the men convicted, they faced up to 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines for each of two counts of property destruction.
