Marketing Downed Animal Results In Fine

A Chesley farm has been fined for sending a downed animal to Brussels Livestock for auction.

The Holstein cow was shipped to market in June of 2014.

It was deemed a downed animal and euthanized when a veterinarian on-site found it was suffering from a twisted stomach.

Schriek Farms Limited was charged under the Food Safety and Quality Act.

The company pled guilty and was fined 15 hundred dollars in a court appearance last month in Walkerton.
