Ryan McElduff (21) of Creggan Road, Cranagh, Carrickmore, pleaded guilty at Omagh Magistrates' Court today and received a conditional discharge for 18 months.
This case arose, when the Official Veterinarian (OV) at an abattoir examined a cow presented by Mr McElduff. The animal was bearing very little weight on its left hind leg and was showing signs of being in pain and distress. The leg was submitted to the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) for examination and a pathologist concluded that there was an unstable fracture of the femur.
