The Law

In a state built on cattle ranching, a cow's milk was valuable property and a main source of livelihood. Sneaking onto your neighbor's land to siphon off their livestock's milk was considered a serious and sneaky form of theft. Though modern dairies have heavy security, this agricultural statute remains on the books to protect livestock owners.
