GRANTSVILLE, Utah (AP) -- The reward has been raised to $10,000 in the case of 10 dead cows in Tooele County.

State officials say Western AgCredit has pledged $1,000 and Dairy Producers of Utah has thrown in $500. The Humane Society of Utah has put up $5,000.

Rancher Martin Anderson of Grantsville says six beef cattle and a calf were found shot to death April 25. Three other cows had to be euthanized because of their injuries.

The investigation is being led by the Tooele County sheriff's office.

In a separate case, four cows were fatally shot last week in Box Elder County.
