Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept. to auction off horses
Posted on January 15, 2010
Looking for a good horse? The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department can help.
The agency plans to auction off nine horses and two colts on Sunday, Jan. 24 at the county fair park. A department statement says the horses were confiscated in early December but does not elaborate. A message left at the department wasn't immediately returned.
Lisa Patefield is the executive director of the Humane Society of Jefferson County. She says the department seized the horses from a farmette because the owners weren't caring for them properly.
The sheriff's department says the owners also have been ordered to relinquish six cats. They're now at the Humane Society.
