A Facebook post led to the return of nearly a dozen cows that police say were stolen from a Madison County farm.
When Ashley Smith and her family found out the nine cows had been stolen, she made a post on Facebook about it that was shared over eight thousand times. She even listed out each of their yellow ear tags in a plea for help.
A Kentucky AG worker spotted the cattle a couple counties away.
That employee called police who tell us they arrested a man and woman in connection to the theft.
The nine cows were being sold at the Washington County Livestock Center. Those responsible cut the locks at the Berea farm and stole the cows.

“You know you’re surprised when, when you went and they wasn’t there and you know, then I was so surprised again that they found them down there and that everybody got on board, and did what they could for us,” said Mike Isaacs, one of the owners of the cows.
The nine cows were picked up Tuesday morning and brought back to Berea.
The owners say now they will doctor closely and watch the very stressed cattle to make sure they are okay.
Steven Jones and Jennifer Moore were each charged with receiving stolen property. Moore bonded out of jail.
Jones is still in the Marion County Detention Center.
