Roy McCoy roy@robconews.com Robertson County News ROBERTSON COUNTY — Two men from Robertson County were arrested Monday in connection with a cattle theft case that has drawn attention across the Brazos Valley. Davarion Hurst, 19, of Franklin, and Kevandre Corona, 21, of Calvert, were taken into custody at the Flatonia Livestock Auction and booked into the Dan R. Beck Justice Center on charges of theft of livestock. Officials said the pair are suspected of stealing at least three heifers from Robertson County. The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office worked alongside the Texas Southwest Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) when the arrests were made in the auction’s sales area. Authorities also recovered the cattle trailer believed to have been used in the theft, which is now being held at the sheriff’s office while the investigation continues. Reports of stolen livestock have come in from Burleson, Falls, Robertson, and Limestone counties in recent months. TSCRA Special Ranger Brent Mast said the thefts can be devastating for farmers and ranchers. “It’s a big financial hit, especially if you don’t have insurance. You could lose a significant part of your livelihood,” Mast said. Robertson County Sheriff Bill Ruland described the thefts as part of a wider statewide problem. “With cattle prices so high, these crimes are happening more often,” he said.
