Sheriff: All 42 starving horses seized last year have been placed

HOLTON, Kan. (WIBW) -- Every one of the 42 horses found starving and seized from a Jackson Co. farm last year has a new home now.

On Monday, Jackson Co. Sheriff Tim Morse made the announcement, offering his thanks to everyone in the community who helped investigate and take care of the horses until they could find a permanent place to stay.

The Jackson Co. Sheriff's Office started seizing the horses in July 2018 when a dozen of them were removed from a ranch northeast of 134th and T Road, following numerous complaints from concerned citizens.
