MILL CITY, Ore. -- Linn County sheriff's officers say as many as 30 horses and miniature horses have been removed from a Mill City-area farm and placed in foster care.
Deputies and animal welfare workers responded to the farm east of Salem on Thursday.
Sheriff Tim Mueller says the animals were evaluated based on their body weight, with the thinnest ones headed for foster care to be rehabilitated.
Mueller says the farm owner could face criminal charges. The owner, a 30-year-old woman, declined comment.
