It's the fourth seizure this year of neglected horses and farm animals in the county.
Senior Deputy Brenda Lumley seized a malnourished colt from the same farm in January and offered the owners resources to avoid further seizures.
But Lumley says the remaining animals' condition continued to worsen. A judge authorized Wednesday's seizure.Mikerrra Lee Lane, 35, is being held on animal neglect charges.
In addition to malnutrition, the sheriff's office said Thursday the animals suffered from skin conditions, parasite infestations, rain rot and hoof abscesses.
Rescue organizations are caring for them.
