A jury found United Cattle Company liable for converting Orville Molenaar's sixty-five heifers. The verdict awarded both compensatory and punitive damages. Molenaar had purchased the heifers in Montana in 1994 and transported them to Minnesota for feeding, care, and breeding at Michael Frank's farm. Frank and Molenaar had similar arrangements in previous years. Molenaar's cattle were identified by the blue ear tags they wore at the farm.
