The three thousand dollars comes from 3 sources: a bank and two personal donations.

Dakota Community Bank, Bank President Dale Pahlke and Vice President Stan Sayler each donated 1-thousand dollars.

The reward now totals 13-thousand dollars.

(Dale Pahlke / Dakota Community Bank) "We do a huge amount of business with farmers, ranchers and cattlemen in southwest north Dakota and we wanted to support the efforts to keep this from getting out of hand and getting any more of these cases going on."

A Stockmen's Association spokesperson says this is one of the first times another business has offered reward money.

She says typically the reward is supplied by the rancher and the Stockmen's Association.
