Yes, either somebody knew what they were taking, or the person(s) that took them just happened upon a farm that had an owner who collected and prized these fairly uncommon and rare breeds.
I intentionally put my Highland bull with his pointing forward horns, in the front pasture of the property by the road. One of these days I'll get around to a less generic "no trespassing" sign and have some custom made up saying "No Trespassing", Violators will be GORED!" Below that a drawing of a person attempting to run from the bull with a horn up his behind!

Hans how would anyone beable to sell them as a rare breed they were
tatoed and taged and regestered.
I would help you make a sign but I could get alot more meaner too!
Editited Soory I am so bad but stealing these type of cattle is as
bad as someone making them a polled breed.

They couldn't be sold very easily, but I suppose if a person just wanted to enjoy having them without the expense of purchasing them that would be one reason. I think that somebody probably just saw an opportunity and took it, without knowing what kind of cows they were. I thought I read somewhere that they were not on the property of the owner, but on another pasture without regular supervision. There is a good chance they will be slaughtered one by one for beef, and hidden in a back pasture somewhere by the thief in the interim.
It is really a shame.

How sad, yes probably will wind up as beef. But on the off-chance they know what they have; they may end up as breeders. My guess is if you are morally willing to steal you probably won't be morally against lying or falsifying records.

This sort of thing happens more often than one would think.
Those wireless motion sensing cameras along boundary fences have been the best invention, as well as neighbours keeping an ear out.
In the early days on the property we thought we were hearing some untowards noise of a lot of mooing and dogs barking so went off to investigate only to find it was the neighbour moving his cattle. He was quite surprised but very happy that we cared enough to come and check. He now sends a text to let us know when he is dropping off or picking up his livestock.
We are always concerned about the possibility of this happening to us and make no it no secret that our boundary fences are monitored and neighbours are always on the look out to those who visit.
We also don't advertise our address giving a ball-park address instead.
Would love to have the stud name etc on the front gate but stop at doing this because of this reason.
The shape of our property stops the moos being visible from the road too which we hope helps.
How sad for the owner!
