The London Stockmen's Association asks Sherlock Holmes for assistance in solving the mysterious mutilated cattle phenomena. One day a prize animal is in good condition, and the next it is found dead, and strangely mutilated. The parts taken are not good to eat. Strangest of all, sometimes a mutilated animal is found high off the ground, wedged in a tree.
Sherlock Holmes takes the case, and as always, with the help of Doctor Watson, his associate, friend and chronicler, conducts a careful investigation, which is successful. Holmes solves the mysterious death of prize heifer Lulu's watchman, and based on his investigations, Holmes predicts the strange cattle mutilation phenomena will soon cease, and they do.
The authorities are well satisfied, and the Stockmen's Association gives Holmes a handsome honorarium, along with the mounted horns of Lulu, as a memento. However, there is a loose end to the case, and Holmes will not settle for anything less than perfection. Sherlock Holmes directs Watson to write the case up, but not to publish it until "a full century after my death, when much that is mysterious now, will be clear as crystal."
In the course of two world wars the case became lost, but it and the other famous "lost cases of Sherlock Holmes" were recently found, and are now being published. For the first time ever, you can now read the case of Sherlock Holmes And The Mutilated Cattle, possibly the strangest case Sherlock Holmes ever investigated.
