Livestock Mutilation (also known as bovine split) is the apparent murder and mutilation of livestock under unusual or anomalous circumstances. The sheep and horses have been allegedly mutilated in similar circumstances. Since reports of alleged animal mutilations began, the causes have been attributed in particular to natural decomposition, natural predators, cryptic predators, extraterrestrials, reserved government or military agencies, and sects. The mutilations have been the subject of two independent federal investigations. History

The earliest reports of mutilated cattle first appeared in the United States in the 1960s, when the states of Pennsylvania and Kansas were largely confined.

In the mid-1970s mutilated cattle were reported in 15 states, from Montana to South Dakota, and also from New Mexico to South Texas. Democratic Senator Floyd K. Haskell contacted the FBI for help in 1975 because of public concern about the mutilations. He affirmed that there have been about 130 anomalous mutilations in Colorado. characteristics Physical characteristics
