Mohawked Men Steal, Kill Calf, Fail To Use Every Part

Strangeness from Palmyra, NY, the birthplace of Mormonism. Breaking into a farmer's barn, stealing a calf, hacking off a couple of steaks to cook in a campfire, and leaving a carcass. I have a few questions.

Why kill a calf? Throw it back for when it's bigger.

Why the hairdos? Are they really high school wrestlers?

Why the unnecessary reference to the Mormons? Just because they're prissy weirdos from Palmyra.
