(SUNfoto by Jose de Wit) This dead cow has been floating in the Rio Grande just off the Valdez Bridge in Española at least since June 12. Española resident Jerry Martinez said he spotted the cow that day and reported it to various state agencies, but no one has removed it. State Livestock Board cattle inspector Bea Belle said there is no particular agency that is responsible for removing the cow. “If someone can snag it and get it out and if it has a brand on it, it would at least be nice to tell the owner he’s missing a cow,” Belle said. “Even then, he’s not responsible for removing it. It’s kind of unfortunate, but if the cow’s in there, it’s just kind of there. There’s nothing to be done about it.”
