I used to live close to where these mutilations happened on Sand Mountain Ala. I’ve always been curious about them.
Adding to the mystery it’s a very remote mountain with a history of extreme poverty. It's socially remote too so any rare outside visitors back then were looked at askance. It is intensively policed with an eye to outsiders.

“Cattle farmers, just unsuspectedly, found dozens of cattle mutilated. There’s no explanation for it,” Smith began. “They walked upon the cattle and they saw no evidence, no tracks, no blood on the cattle, but nearly perfect incisions that appears to have been made with extremely high heat to extract various organs from these cattle. As one could suspect, these farmers were absolutely just floored.

Sullivan then questioned why authorities were not able to identify a cause of death for the cattle other than by way of organ extraction.

The South Alabama radio host mentioned the story’s reference to a strange substance located on a victimized cow whose genitals and rectum had been carved out in a neat incision.
“That’s where it gets very interesting,” Smith noted. “It was three different elements that were found. One of them was titanium, that was the most prolific element found, I believe, in the substance.
Smith cited that a molecular biologist who studied the substance advised that the compound of elements was not something that could have been found in nature.

'Unexplained': Yellowhammer News talks cattle mutilations with Mobile radio host Sean Sullivan - Yellowhammer News
Almost three decades ago, cattle farmers in rural North Alabama found dead livestock lying in pastures with various organs extracted from their carcasses.

Once again, no blood was on the animal or on the ground.

During examination, investigators found what was described as a flaky, white material on the animal’s rib cage that was five feet away.
“While removing the flaky particles from the cigarette wrapper, the material came in contact with the brass tip of a ball-point pen,” the police department’s release said. “Within one second of contact with the brass, the material melted into an almost clear liquid. To reduce the risk of this happening to the remaining material, the rest was shaken out into a jar where it remained unaffected.”
The substance was then provided to a molecular biologist for testing.
“After two tests, the scientist determined that the substance was composed of aluminum, titanium, oxygen and silicon in significant amounts,” authorities said.
The field expert said the amount of titanium was larger than what he would have expected to see in any substance. Additionally, the biologist said there was no explanation of how the combination of elements could have occurred in nature.
In the height of the cases, residents began to formulate theories. It was believed that predator animals, satanic cults or mischievous adolescents could had performed the mutilations.
However, scientists who studied the incisions ruled out the theories. The surgical precisions were far too precise and comprehensive to be the work of the theorized culprits, they said.
Further examination
According to local authorities, the surgical incision on McClendon’s calf appeared to have been conducted with extreme heat.
Dr. John Altschuler, a former University of Colorado field expert who was tapped to examine the extraction, said that the temperature needed to make such an incision would have needed to be in the “hundreds of degrees and possibly higher.”
A Fyffe resident, who wished to remain anonymous, spoke about the UFO sightings coinciding with the cattle mutilations.

Though many animals have been found on soft pasture land, and in many cases mud, there have been no footprints, tracks, or marks found anywhere near the mutilated animals.

One thing that was never explained was how only hide deep incisions were made without disturbing internal organs, or why the incisions didn’t cut the animal’s hair. I think I’ve finally figured how it’s done.
The animal is cut from the inside out. The first cut is the deepest; a puncture is made for insertion of a mechanical cutter; between the animal’s hide and the internal bones and organs.
