Amos Martin fined for downer cow


Amos Martin of Mount Forest has been fined a total of $1,880 after pleading guilty in provincial court to trying to market a downer cull cow at the Ontario Livestock Exchange north of Waterloo.

A veterinary inspector at the stockyards in January found the cow had a twisted stomach, was down and could not get up and was in distress.
