New Holland Auction, PA 1/19/11
When investigators arrived at the auction, numerous kill buyer trucks were already parked in the lot. Trucks were unloading pigs and cows at the chutes, in one of the trailers the pigs were overloaded and they could not move or lay down. The sheep were also loaded in this manner. A baby goat and a pig were found dead in one of the entrance aisles to the auction. Investigators found one dead sheep in the pen area. Kill buyer Brian Moore bought enough horses to load both, his stock trailer and a semi trailer.
