Sherburne County investigators are asking for assistance from the public in finding the person or persons who shot and killed two cows in the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge.

 

Deputies were called Tuesday to the area near 293rd Ave NW in Blue Hill Twp. and met with a man whose cattle graze on the Refuge. He told deputies that he found a cow and a calf on the Refuge had been shot, according to Sheriff Joel Brott.
