An incident of vandalism occurred on Monday 25 June during milking time on Senior Farming Ltd.

The farm is a 300-cow spring-calving, grass-based herd in Somerset, England.

Matthew Senior, who is the owner of Senior Farming Ltd, shared images of the damaged caused online.

A large number of wrapped round bales had their plastic black wrap sliced open and several had also been set on fire.

The destruction of limited feed supplies will be extra costly to the farm given the ongoing forage shortage both in Ireland and the UK.
