<div>Dear, friends, fellow Dairy Goat breeders, farm supporters, our community and beyond! The unthinkable has happened to Drake Family Farms, located in Ontario, California. On Monday Night, 4/15/2024 their fence was cut by the perpetrator and 12 of the farms beloved Dairy goats were stolen. The breeds stolen were Saanens, Alpines &amp; Nubians. Their collars are chain, red or blue. Please see the pictures for their tattoo numbers &amp; breeds of the stolen goats
</div>
<div>- 7 pregnant goats, 3 Babies
</div>
<div>- 1 goat that had given birth 1-2 hours before they stole her &amp; left her 2 babies cold &amp; hungry. (They have been bottle feeding them and they are doing well)
</div>
<div>-1 goat that had delivered in the past 24 hours that had toxemia (Dr Dan Drake, the owner &amp; veternarian was currently treating her) she needed her Dextrose that morning &amp; they fear that she is probably dead now
</div>
<div>The perpetrator stayed out of view, of the farm's security cameras. As well as avoided cameras at local major, intersections. A detective from the local police department, has been assigned to the case and is working closely with the Drake family to bring home their beloved dairy goats. A tip line has also been set up. Several media outlets have been amazing in getting the communities attention as well as broadcasting the story nationwide, in hopes that they will get some leads on the whereabouts of the dairy goats. The farm has offered a $3500 reward for anyone that can find their goats &amp; leads to the conviction of these horrible people.
</div>
<div>The Drake Family Farm is one of our local beloved family run and owned artesian, cheese farms. They have a large herd of just over 500 hundred registered, beautiful and loved Dairy goats. Each one has a given name. They have been a family-owned business since the 1800’s, between their California and Utah Farms. We are so disheartened by this act of theft and cruelty.
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is being set up by SCDGA (Southern California Dairy Goat Association) and the local dairy goat community to help support Drake Family Farms. The funds will be used to increase the current reward up to $5000 or possibly more. If no reward is given, the money raised will be allocated towards helping the farm recoup the losses the farm has faced from the stolen animals, modestly valued at $12,000. It will also be used for future expenses and losses due to the theft. Any additional funds raised will be put towards enhancing the current security system, as well as future fencing and housing for their dairy goat herd. Any amount is appreciated. Let’s get together and support this wonderful family run farm.
