Trying to answer a lot of questions here.
Cow is between 900 - 1100# on the hoof.
Happened in the early AM within 100 yd of my neighbors house. (Deep in rural area.) It is my neighbors cow by the way. Cow found just around Daylight near 8am and was fine when he was feeding her last night.

It appears from the looks off things the cow was grabbed by the throat and really did not go anywhere from there. The tracks could have been made from neighboring dogs since it did rain during the night. Possible some scavenging after initial kill by a dog. Warden believes being close to house what ever committed Kill could have spooked away. Search of land revealed Calf that had been killed to long ago to diagnose what happened. Owner Is an executive and does not keep accurate number of Cattle due to it being a hobby.
Let me make it clear there is not claw, puncture or any wounds found other than the head and neck.
