I reckon it was that cop with the taser wanting some food.
Perhaps they were speeding?
😆The beef farmer said: "It is a shocking thing to see. I felt numbness, it was unbelievable.
Just sprayed tea over my keyboard!!
*grabs granary roll and condiments*
His wife Elizabeth said: "Jim could not believe the carnage he saw.
Presumably someone else will take the rest to the abatoir then?
If the farm ahd been in Somerset / Wiltshire, would the farmer have said it was "Udderly Amazin"
Guess I can see why it would be funny to some, but farmers are really pushed to scrape a living and have the highest suicide rate of any profession in the UK.
The cows being killed would have a significant impact on his income. Would not be covered by insurance as it would be classified as an "act of god". Cannot be sold for meat as legally any animal that dies on the farm is taken away to be destroyed. The farmer is again not legally allowed to bury them on his land, and he has to pay for their removal and disposal.
Not so funny?
Not amoosing in the slightest...

They would be worth close to £1k each - no small loss.
