MENOMINEE COUNTY -- The case against two Escanaba teens charged with torturing cattle in Menominee County will be moving to circuit court.

Nicholas Michael Leisner and Peter John Sauve, both 17, waived their preliminary hearing Wednesday.

Their arraignment in circuit court is set for August 1.

The pair is being charged with three counts each of torturing or killing an animal after an incident earlier this month at a farm in Wilson.  Three cattle were beaten and impaled.

Two of the animals had to be put down.
