The family's legal battle began when Shasta County officials wrongfully seized Cedar, leading to a viral outcry and eventual settlement of $300,000 on their behalf.
E.L. loved Cedar deeply and was inconsolable after the goat was taken; she sobbed in the pen, unable to bear the thought of his slaughter.
Despite efforts to remove Cedar from the auction, Shasta Fair Association officials refused, leading to a series of events that resulted in legal action against the county.
The suit detailed E.L.'s emotional attachment to Cedar, contrasting the county's insistence on the rules of the livestock auction with a child's bond to her pet.
