Episode Details

Livestock theft is decimating farmers in Region Six, forcing some like Ron Soogrim to quit cattle ranching and pivot to agro-processing. Thieves are outsmarting authorities—branding calves before owners can, then claiming ownership—and now operating in remote backlands to evade detection. Farmers are under immense stress, selling off herds or considering quitting altogether, while distrust is spreading even within their own teams. Complicating matters further, some farmers are stealing from each other, making arrests nearly impossible. The once-stable cattle farming community is crumbling under relentless theft and escalating criminal tactics.
