No,
it's not PMS. The sun was in my eyes. LOL There is still a lot of information that needs
to be added to the website. This will be done over the winter months. In the meantime I
will update the site with any new news. Big plans are in the works for this research next
summer. I will reveal what those are next year. I want to thank those who have emailed me.
I appreciate hearing from folks! A big hello to my fans who've stopped by in person this
summer to meet me. Never knew I had any!
Predator Kills
In this line of research it is important to also be able to
'document' predator kills to show as comparisons to actual unexplained animal mutilations.
I know that there are a lot of BC ranchers who have been experiencing a number of losses
due to predator kills (bears and wolves) lately. This may have something to do with a food
shortage in the higher elevations that is forcing the predators into the lower regions to
hunt easier game - being cattle and horses etc. Due to my current situation I am not able
to head over to BC this year. (Next summer I will be heading over there.) If it is at all
possible, I would be interested in viewing, examining and documenting predator kills in
Saskatchewan for research references. I would be very interested to hear from any rancher
in this province who has lost an animal recently to a predator. Preferably before the
snow flies! I am also interested in kills made by domestic dogs. - Barb

Bull Mutilation
August 21 -
Received word tonight that a bull has been discovered mutilated in Saskatchewan (exact
location withheld). Making arrangements to head there so long as the animal's carcass has
not been buried or burnt yet. Apparently this one slipped through my fingers. There
will be no examination.

chamber is the most recent addition to Barb's lab. She has invested over six thousand
dollars in equipment and supplies to help carry out UAD investigations and has received
twenty five dollars in donations.
2006 Hillmond Case Ear Tag Examination
Partial information on the ear tag in the photo was blotted out with yellow star to
protect the identity of the rancher concerned.
Fine cuts were discovered on the remaining ear of the mutilated cow as shown in the
photo above. What you are not able to see is another 2 fine cuts below the obvious one. It
is possible that cuts on the tag and remaining ear are from the very same source. No
other part of the tag was damaged as you can see in the photo. The tag itself was
discovered 45.5 feet north of the carcass. The back part of the tag was found a few feet
southeast of the carcass and showed no sign of damage. The missing ear was never found.
'Frank' Bison Case Magnetic Particles Analysis
50 cups of soil was collected for the
analysis to see if a dispersion pattern could be detected. None was detected. (Click on
above image to view data.)
Substance Found On 'Frank' Bison Hair
Received word from the lab that the substance 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid has been found
ON Frank's hair samples.
It can be a degradation product of Tryptophan however I have been assured by the lab
that it is not Tryptophan but actual 3HAA. The fact that it was found ON the hairs
suggests that it is nothing from the bloodstream. Tryptophan was found IN a heifer
mutilated in Utah some years ago. It was thought that the animal was sedated before
euthanasia. Further tests are being carried out. Stay tuned for further updates. -

His carcass lay in a slightly secluded area of the quarter section. 'The coolie' is
what the rancher and his son call this section of land as it dips down a slight hill and
is low-laying compared to the surrounding terrain which is surrounded on the edge by some
trees, fences and grid roads. There are also two separate natural sources of water from
which the bulls drink. ... read more |
