Operation Livestock Thief

Help Stop Livestock Theft

Operation Livestock Thief pays big rewards to citizens who report livestock rustlers.

1-800-332-4155

Through Operation Livestock Thief, citizens may anonymously call a toll-free phone number (1-800-332-4155) to report incidents involving bovine or equine theft or destruction.

The State Brand Commissioner and respective law enforcement agencies investigate the allegations. If the reported information leads to an arrest, informants can receive a monetary reward of up to $2,500 per incident. Informants unconcerned about anonymity may call their local brand inspector or the state brand commissioner’s office directly and still qualify for a reward.

For general information on the program contact the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association at (303) 431-6422 or contact the Colorado Board of Stock Inspection Commissioners at (303) 294-0895.
