Thieves goes viral after stealing cow semen worth millions of Naira

The tanks containing the prized semen were taken from the back of a farm truck in Turlock, California.

‘The genetics that these cows have in them is out of the top one per cent of the world population [of bulls],’ farm owner John Azevedo told CBS Sacramento.

Three tanks and a transfer tank with nearly 3,500 units of sperm were stolen from the back of his work truck late Sunday night, enough to potentially impregnate more than 1,000 cattle.

“You’re trying to make a living — the loss of all those units of semen, and probably taken by someone who had no idea what they were stealing, is very frustrating,” John added

Farmer Anthony Reis told CBS he thought the thieves ‘had no idea what they were stealing’, because they mainly stole petrol out of his truck and then just grabbed a bunch of other stuff.
