Incident #1000988
Medford, Jackson Cty, Oregon
before 1965
Account
Mr. Dodge told Callie Lund in 1965 that when he owned a ranch in the Siskiyou Mountains near Medford one of his heifers showed up with mysterious scratches all along her back on both sides reaching from her spine to her belly. Another day he rode over to see why the cattle were milling around in a circle and one was bawling. The same heifer was in the center of the circle and he saw long arms around her middle, then a sasquatch stood up--it had apparently been bending over sucking the heifer's teats. It stood and watched him for a second, then walked away, watching him and his horse, not hurrying until it got some distance from the cattle.
