Eleven horses abandoned in south Clackamas County last month were auctioned at rock-bottom prices this week.

The horses sold—one for $5 and none for more than $45—at the Woodburn Livestock Exchange on Wednesday.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture sold the horses. The cash will help cover the cost of boarding and transporting the animals, which were found Aug. 31 on South Sawtell Road.

The agriculture department and Clackamas County Sheriff's Office still don't know who dumped the animals. Several horses had small green rectangular tags with four black numbers attached to their rumps, but investigators aren't sure what the tags signify.
You tell me.
