  • #002 Chris Ward - Catching Cattle Thieves Across the Texas-Oklahoma Line

    Beaver County Stockyards host Dane Drake sits down with Chris Ward - special ranger for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and self-described 'cowboy cop' - for a wide-ranging conversation on cattle theft across the Southern Plains, what it takes to investigate a Ponzi scheme involving 80,000+ head of paper cattle, and why brand inspection at sale barns is one of the biggest deterrents the industry is missing.

    Chris spent nearly 30 years with the Texas Highway Patrol before retiring and stepping directly into his current role covering a 24-county district across Texas and Oklahoma. He breaks down how cattle theft actually gets investigated, what evidence matters, why grandpa almost never files charges on his own grandkid, and what the second-largest ag crime in U.S. history looked like from the inside.
