They were part of the group of 90 demonstrators who allegedly broke into and locked themselves into barns on the Jumbo Valley Hutterite Colony turkey farm near Fort Macleod.
 
The accused weren't present themselves, and instead were represented by lawyers who called for a month long adjournment of the case.
 
Lawyers say they need the time to gather more information and speak with each of their clients.
