I'm not sure where you're getting this info, but I don't really believe it. There have been many investigations into livestock mutilation, and every legitimate one has concluded that there is absolutely no evidence of anything other than natural life and death processes. One of the more famous is from a fella named Ken Rommel, who was an ex FBI agent hired by New Mexico to investigate the issue. He investigated all sorts of mutilations that had been described as "laser cut incisions" and "total blood removal", and found that it was all a bunch of BS.

You should read some of the report. It goes into very specific detail about why these cases are generally overblown and exaggerated.

Here's the full report: http://dagmar.lunarpages.com/~parasc2/articles/0597/romindex.htm

It includes pics from animals he investigated that were claimed to be cut by lasers and other such craziness.

Here's a good excerpt:

In his report, Rommel painstakingly debunks many of the notions about "classic mutilations." In almost all of the cases he examined, a completely natural cause of death was established. The organs that disappear, he argues, are composed of just the sort of soft tissues that carnivorous scavengers are known to snack on. The "surgically precise" cuts that were so often reported were in fact quite jagged when viewed up close. As to the absence of blood, Rommel notes that "such a claim is rarely substantiated by a necropsy [animal autopsy] report." He discovered that it is common for the blood of deceased animals to settle into the lower parts of the corpse, and that "any blood on the carcass or on the ground is quickly consumed by scavengers."

Rommel didn't find evidence of a criminal conspiracy, but he did identify some culprits. His chief suspect was the mute rumor mill, aided and abetted by some news outlets and law officers who put unfounded conclusions on the record. Rommel said that he found "a great deal of very creative writing on the part of the media and some law enforcement personnel and I found many statements made by others that were completely unsupported by factual data." His research, he asserted, had "clearly shown that the media has played a very important role in promoting both the livestock phenomenon and the lore surrounding it." Rommel concluded that misleading reports had bred "a classic case of mild hysteria" around the mute issue.

He recently remarked: "The problem is, you've got ranchers who see something they've never seen before or just ignored, and then you have law-enforcement officials getting carried away. You've got Sheriff Num-nutz up in some place where he can't even find his own police car, saying, 'It looks like laser surgery,' and the reporters love quotes like that, so they repeat it. Now, if I were a reporter, I would ask, 'Sheriff, how much do you know about laser surgery?'"
