A Louisa County Man is going to the VA State Supreme Court to stop the sale of his cattle. Last November Dennis Powell's cows were seized by the county after they appeared to be starving to death. Powell was charged with animal cruelty. He is trying to fight them insisting that he is innocent. 

The county now says they are going to sell off the cattle. County officials tell 8 News that they have already spent over fifty thousand dollars on the care of the cows and that they have every right to sell them in an auction that will take place on Friday.
