He’s seen a lot in the 35 years that he’s auctioned livestock, but Norman Hoff says he’s never seen a cow walk off of a trailer and collapse before.
It took several men to drag it out of the way.
“…and we put her right here out of the way, and she lied down like a normal cow and that’s where she rested,” said Hoff, “and I figured the next morning she was going to be dead, you know. What else you gonna do with her?”
Acting on a tip, members of the Humane Society of the United States videotaped the struggling cow intermittently throughout the night.
The animal rights activists then featured it in a video along with similar downed cattle from three other states.
