In Santo Antônio da Patrulha, a pregnant Braford cow was slaughtered and its meat stolen from a rural property. The owner discovered the remains, which included the head, tail, legs, viscera, and a uterus containing a calf. 

Authorities are investigating the incident as ‘abigeato’ (livestock theft). Investigators suspect the perpetrators used a vehicle, potentially a blue pickup truck, to transport the meat, noting that the property gate remained locked with no signs of forced entry.
