Identity revealed of Cork farmer who sent her cows to a UK retirement sanctuary

These Cork cows are living it up

Earlier this year, 70-year-old Jill Smith from Carrigaline in Cork, made the decision to part with her cows after she was left injured in a farm accident.

In what is believed to be a first for dairy farming in Ireland, Jill has now sent more than half of her 70-strong herd to the Hillside animal sanctuary in Norfolk, after years of milking.
