The beef farmer said: "It is a shocking thing to see. I felt numbness, it was unbelievable.

His wife Elizabeth said: "Jim could not believe the carnage he saw.

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?

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