WALCOTT (AP) - A Walcott man has been arrested after authorities found more than 30 dead cattle on his eastern Iowa farm.

Jason Guyer, 32, was charged with livestock neglect. Records from the Scott County sheriff's office show that an animal control officer contacted the sheriff's office on Jan. 22 after she saw cattle without food or water in an enclosure at Guyer's farm.

A deputy met the animal control officer at the farm and saw cattle that, according to records, appeared to be malnourished and balding. Other cattle had sores.

Records show the deputy and animal control officer also found more than 30 dead cattle, some of which appeared to be dead a long time.
