Police say they were notified Monday of the vandalism in the Lamar County Cemetery located off of FM 195, just north of the Loop.

They were later notified that cows had been seen in the area and saw the damage was consistent with that of large, hooved animals.

They say the damage was done sometime over the past six weeks.

According to online records there are 43 recorded burials in the cemetery which was opened in 1889 as the Silver Cross Cemetery.
