Criminals responsible for terrorising stud cattle at country show still at large

Police are calling on anyone who may have witnessed or have a vision of last month's brutal attack on stud cattle at the Monto Show to come forward.

A QPS spokesperson said police were investigating reports of several people striking multiple cows during an event at a venue on Oxley St, Monto, on April 26.

The spokesperson said police were appealing to anyone with information or vision of the reported incident to contact police and that investigations were ongoing.

It's understood that a number of youths attacked stud cattle tied up at the Monto Showgrounds with show canes and a steel rake.

A Monto Show spokesperson said the show society took the welfare of exhibitors and their livestock extremely seriously.

"Youth crime and misconduct is not just an urban issue - it's affecting rural communities too. We're grateful for the support of our local police and support calls for increased resourcing for regional stations," the spokesperson said.

Queensland Ag Shows president David Wilson had never heard of an incident as alarming as the one at Monto.

Mr Wilson said it was not up to him to comment on what the perpetrators should get as a sentence.

But he said he would like the courts to recognise the seriousness of the incident.
