Six baby goats stolen from Utah ranch were still being bottle-fed their mother’s milk — owners are worried about the animals’ well-being

Six baby goats were discovered missing from a northwest Salt Lake City ranch on Monday morning and their owners are worried about their well-being.

The kids were taken overnight from Cross E Ranch, a 200-acre working cattle ranch at 3500 N. 2000 West. In addition to farming, the ranch offers interactive experiences to connect people with agriculture and holds public events, including festivals.

The goats are all 3- or 4-weeks-old and were still being bottle fed with their mothers’ milk, according to Heather Limon, who runs the family ranch with her brother, Dalon Hinckley.

“If they don’t feed them correctly, they’ll just keep crying and crying,” Limon said.
