Pigs seized from a Terrebonne property Friday and Saturday, Jan. 20 and 21. 

TERREBONNE — The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office removed 71 pigs and 16 goats from a Terrebonne property Friday and Saturday, Jan. 20 and 21, and cited the owner of the 17-acre ranch for animal neglect.

Linda Sue Evans, 73, was issued the citation in lieu of custody after sheriff’s deputies searched her property in the 5000 block of 10th Street. Deputies had received a tip about possible animal neglect at the property, according to a release from the sheriff’s office. 

Deputies found the animals in dire need of veterinary care and proper feed, according to the release. The pigs and goats were taken to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Rescue Ranch, a 23-acre rehabilitation center for neglected, abandoned, and abused livestock.

Evans’ case is being forwarded to the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office for review.
