The county will auction off 174 miniature horses, two standard horses and three pygmy goats on Saturday. The auction will start at 10 a.m. in the Josephine County Fairgrounds Arena.
County officals seized the animals because of abuse and neglect, according to a press release from Josephine County.
County officials say the animals have been surrendered and unclaimed.
All of the animals have been treated and cared for a veterinarian. However, the horses will be sold "as is" and the county makes no guarantee as to the animals' health or temperament.
The county will host a preview of the animals Friday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the fairgrounds.
County officials say a veterinarian will be at the preview and auction to answer questions about the horses.
Liska and Associates is handling the auction. More information can be found on their website.
