Where’s the Beef? In the Back Seat!

New Mexico authorities have arrested three men found with a 220-pound calf in the back seat of their car.  The Carlsbad Current Argus reports that the men were charged with cattle rustling and were jailed on charges of suspicion of larceny of livestock, conspiracy, lack of a bill of sale and exporting livestock.

The Luna County sheriff’s office reports that a deputy stopped their vehicle and found the calf sharing the back seat with one of the alleged thieves.  Apparently, the calf phoned police after not being allowed to ride shotgun.
The three are now being held at the Luna County Detention Center and the question has finally been answered:  Where’s the beef?
