(Hillsboro, TX) — Bond is over four-million dollars for a North Texas man accused of stealing cattle.

Willie Rittenbaugh is charged with five different felonies after Hill County Sheriff’s deputies say he took a total of 80 head of cattle last year.  The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association says Rittenbaugh also failed to complete an agreement with another rancher on managing and selling a thousand head of cattle.  He’s also accused of stealing horses in Limestone County.

Authorities are concerned there might be other victims out there and anyone with information should call the TSCRA or the Hill County Sheriff’s Office.
