Police said the cattle were at the northeast corner of 50th Street South and 120th Avenue South.
A witness reported seeing a "heavy-duty white truck" that was pulling the type of trailer generally used to carry lawn equipment, not livestock, on the property just before the theft.
The cows are a 4 1/2-year-old black-and-white Brangus cow with white on the belly and a black circle around its left eye; a 4- to 5-month-old red-and-white Brangus bull with a white belly, chest and head; a 4- to 6-month-odl red Brangus cow; a 5-year-old black-and-white brindle-colored Brangus cow with a white face and nubs on its head; and a 10- to 12-month-old red-and-white Brangus bull with a white spot on its withers.
One of the suspects is described as a black man between 20 and 22 years old who is 5 feet 8 feet tall and 150 to 170 pounds. He was clean-shaven and wore blue jeans with a large rodeo-style belt buckle, no shirt and a dark baseball cap.
The other suspect is a white man between 18 and 20 years old who is 5 feet 11 inches tall and skinny with short, light brown, kinky hair and a pimply face, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said.
Police said the suspects were in a black Ford F-150 extended-cab pickup truck with peeling paint on the hood. A witness told police the truck had a Navy Seals license plate on its front.
