Shasta County agrees to pay $ 300,000 to Jessica Long and her 9-year-old daughter to settle the legal dispute over the goat.

The young girl had raised the goat for the 2022 fair, as part of a program intended to teach youngsters how to care for farm animals.

When it came time to sell Cedar and turn him over to be butchered, Jessica Long’s daughter couldn’t do it.

Long took the goat away from the fair, offered to pay for the costs, and pleaded with fair officials to let her daughter keep Cedar .

Despite the partial settlement with Shasta County and the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office , the lawsuit is still ongoing. Long and her daughter still have claims against Shasta District Fair employees and a 4 -H volunteer. Shakib said attorneys are still reviewing discovery, including phone records, to try to find out what happened to Cedar .
