NEW PROVIDENCE, Iowa (AP) — A 26-year-old man is facing several animal neglect charges after authorities found several malnourished and dead goats on his property in north-central Iowa. The Hardin County Sheriff’s department found two dead goats and a malnourished goat in an outdoor shed without bedding or food when they visited the man’s property on Oct. 30. A veterinarian determined that the malnourished goat needed to be euthanized because of its condition. Authorities also found three dead goats on the property.

On one side are establishment leaders who are concerned about the direction of the race and welcome new candidates. On the other are voters in key states who say they’re satisfied with their options.
