Pic: The sad story of a bull in Cork that broke his penis

Poor lad

Joe Harrington

The best headline we’ve seen this week.

There’s a story in the Farmer’s Journal with a headline as eye-catching as anything you’ll read anywhere this week.

Here it is in all its glory.

The incident is explained in more detail in the article, “Something of greater concern happened in the breeding herd. The senior bull was put out with the cows two weeks ago.

“Things seemed to be going OK, until four days in and it was noticed that the bull had broken his penis. The timing could have been worse. A contingency plan was put in place.”

We feel your pain senior bull.

ouch

 

The man who wrote the story (not the headline) Tommy Moyles got in touch and sent us on a photo of the bull before the unfortunate incident. A magnificent specimen.
