It was quite common for Jersey cows to be shot in VT back in the 70s and 80s. Many farmers either painted or tied hunter orange to their animals. I saw a picture of one which had "cow" painted on both sides. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to hunt.  :dunno:

My grandpa had several head of cattle that he winter ranged up in Idaho back in the 80s.  Every year, he took orange spray paint and sprayed "COW" on the side of his cattle.  Sure enough, one year, the game warden called from a check point and said one of his cows was in the bed of a truck and the hunter was pleading his case.  Luckily he was able to salvage the meat.  As a 10 year old boy at the time, I remember eating well that winter.

The fools that shoot farm animals are the same idiots that shoot other hunters.

Many years ago a taxidermist friend of the family told a story of a " Hunter " who brought in what he said was the biggest cow elk he had ever seen!!
It was a mule.

I saw that here in Washington about thirty years ago.  It was up in Cherry Valley.

Folk song based on true story...
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

To say it was more than likely a hunter without any shred of evidence is only making the situation worse.

If I was the investigator, I'd be asking the young lady about any guys she might have rejected.  And, especially if that rejection used rodeo as a reason.  Young men who feel rejected too often turn attraction into payback, unfortunately.  More likely it was shot deliberately than mistaken for a 3-poin t minimum whitetail buck IMHO.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
