MPI is labelling the starvation of nearly 30 cattle as an 'appalling example of neglect'

Manawatu Farmer John Baskerville Wood has been given 10 months home detention, and disqualified from owning farm animals following an investigation.
MPI's Joanna Tuckwell says a number of the Rangiwahia farm's other cattle had to be euthanised due to their poor condition - and the situation was completely avoidable.
She says the incident lets down both the animals, and the farming community as a whole.
