NORTH BEND - Jackson County Sheriff's officials say they found dozens of emaciated cows and some deceased cattle on a North Bend farm this month.

The farmer was arrested and has been released. He has not been formally charged.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office announced Friday that it received a report Feb. 15 of possible animal neglect at the farm. A search warrant was obtained and officials say they seized 40 emaciated cows and two calves.

Authorities are still investigating.
