As a result of the producing cows’ deaths, at least one nursing calf died.
Since all the other cows also had nursing calf's they too are presumed dead.
Hands and three other teens trespassed onto the Box Ranch property armed with rifles and were shooting at bottles and beer cans.
Hands has been charged with four counts of animal cruelty, one count of animal enterprise disruption and two counts of armed trespass.
