The current string of cases began Feb. 27, when Crook County Sheriff’s Office deputy Scott Durr was dispatched to suspicious circumstances at the 96 Ranch on Southeast Van Lake Road. Owner Rickey Shannon said one of his herd had been discovered dead two days earlier with an odd cut down its spine.
Shannon, who lives on the ranch with his two sons, reported no predators or birds had touched the cow. There were no tracks, and no blood surrounding it. The cow’s left cheek, tongue and three of its teats had been cut away cleanly. But the eyes, usually the first body part to be scavenged after death, were untouched. There were no bullet holes and a scan of the cow by a metal detector turned up none.
The cow was about 200 yards from the road, near the edge of a field and some juniper trees. There were no vehicle tracks near the dead animal, no footprints of any kind.
The mystery deepened a few days later. On March 4, Casey Thomas, manager of the GI Ranch on Lister Road in Paulina, reported that one of his herd of around 5,000 appeared to have suffered a strange death.
Crook County detective Javier Sanchez arrived to find a deceased Black Angus cow lying on its side. Hair had been removed near the stomach. All four udders were cut off and its left cheek, tongue and sex organs removed. Between the front legs an uneven patch of hair was missing and in the middle was a prick mark, Sanchez wrote in his report.
I hope some day we will be able to solve this baffling mystery.

For me Gabe Valdez already did.

So what did he find?
I'm surprised as your burden of proof level is normally much higher.

Perhaps one could consider that we are in a period where Pagan Rituals are performed.
Do any such rituals require these body parts?
Same could be asked of Chinese Medicine and other such practices.
Sometimes the answer is not "out there' it is instead "in here!"

That quote is not answering the question or solving the mystery. Talk straight brother, nobody will knock your door or park a minivan outside waiting for you.
What are they looking for in these animals? Maybe Prions?

Originally it's believed they were monitoring levels of radioactive contamination in cattle following Nuclear test detonations but I guess any number of reasons could be possible., as you say the organs taken are a good indicator as to the reasons.
Many of these studies revealed that the physiology of humans is more closely related to the physiology of farm animals than to rodents. Finally, the human genome sequence is more similar to the genome sequences of cattle and pigs compared with rodents (Humphray et al., 2007; Tellam et al., 2009); thus, cattle and pigs may be better models for many human genetic diseases
