Devastated Colorado farmer cries to camera after thieves steal all her livestock
A devastated Colorado farmer has made an emotional plea to her followers after cruel thieves stole her entire livestock just before Christmas.
The farmer, known on TikTok as “twocenttuesday,” broke down in tears as she revealed that her four prized Berkshire female pigs, along with 60 meat birds and 20 laying hens, had been stolen from her property just south of Pueblo, Colorado.
“We are just devastated,” she sobbed in the TikTok video posted on Christmas Eve. “Our livestock and livelihoods have just been stolen.”
“If anyone in the southern Colorado region or surrounding areas could help me, that would be great.”
She captioned the now viral video, “TikTok, do your thing. These poor babies were all stolen last night just south of Pueblo Colorado. Please help us find them! They are precious to us and do not deserve what happens to them. Thank you!’
The farmer posted a follow-up video in which she shockingly admitted that she had found “peace” with the tragedy due to the overwhelming response from the community.
In the touching video shared on Wednesday, the TikToker compared her story to the Grinch trying to steal Christmas.
“You know how the Grinch tried to steal Christmas from the Whos? Well, we had a real Grinch try to steal our Christmas,” she said.

“But just like in the movie, we found compassion, kindness and a community of support instead,” she continued.
“Someone stole my pigs and my chickens, but the Bible tells us that all things work together for the good of those who love God.”
She revealed there has been no update on her missing livestock, but she has found ‘peace about it’ after receiving the messages of support.
‘We have no news about our livestock, but there has been such a silver lining of support that I feel a little at peace with it.
“I wish I had my cattle back, but knowing that I am being supported as much as I am is just wonderful, so thank you and Merry Christmas.”
The farmer posted a follow-up video in which she revealed there had been no update yet on the missing livestock, but admitted she had found “peace” with the tragedy due to the overwhelming response from the community.
Users rushed to offer support and advice, with one suggesting she consult the ‘nearest auction yards and her local brand inspector’.
Many others wished her luck and prayed for the return of her cattle.
‘Have you hired any new employees or had any new visitors? This sounds like an inside job,” another user wondered.
