Shocking new winter grazing footage – Cows forced to give birth in muddy paddocks

New footage released by SAFE today shows a cow in labour in a mud-filled paddock and another who has recently given birth. Other cows and their young calves were filmed, as well as one cow with what appears to be her dead calf. The footage and photos were taken from the roadside adjacent to five farms near Lumsden and Mossburn, in Southland, between 31 July and 8 August 2020.
