Gary Weaver, 58, a farmer was arrested on a charge of failure to provide proper sustenance for five beefalo cattle found dead on his property.

There were eight buffalo found dead on Weaver's farm in January. At this time the authorities gave him some advice on preserving the remainder of his herd but when five died in recent weeks they could no longer excuse his negligence.

The beefalo is a cross between American buffalo and a beef cow. They are bred for their lean meat.

If found guilty, Weaver could spend a year in jail and a fine up to $1,000.
