Mart rampage cow was pregnant but has lost her calf

THE rogue cow at the centre of a raging rampage in Co Clare on Tuesday morning was pregnant at the time and has since lost her calf.

The carcass of a dead calf could be seen yesterday close to a bush where the cow had been resting on Wednesday and again yesterday. The cow was placed in the field on Tuesday after she escaped from Ennis mart while being unloaded from a cattle box.

The animal made her break for freedom at around 11am on Tuesday and raced along the Quin Road straight towards Ennis town, running down a garda and three members of the public who sustained only minor injuries.
