A farmer has died after being crushed by one of his cows during feeding time.
The animal charged at the old man before crushing him against a wall.
It continued to butt the farmer on the ground as he screamed in pain.

The cow used its head to repeatedly ram the man into a stack of tiles.
He apparently passed out, but was snagged to the animal by the rope around its neck.
The cow tried to shake him loose, but ended up dragging his limp body around the cowshed.
The poor farmer was almost stripped naked by the aggressive animal.
The animal eventually managed to break free and the elderly man was left in a heap on the ground.
The shocking attack took place in central China last Friday (11 Apr).
According to reports, the victim went into the cowshed to feed the animals as he did every day.
On this occasion, the cow reacted aggressively for unknown reasons.
The farmer was rushed to hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival, as reported by NeedToKnow.
Cattle breeding experts said that cows, despite appearing docile, can often become dangerous when they feel threatened or surprised.
One local vet said: “Cows can easily become agitated, especially in stressful situations.
“Farmers should always take precautions, such as avoiding sudden movements and observing the animals’ behaviour before approaching them.”
The Chinese authorities have yet to release further information on the attack, but the victim’s family is expected to receive government support to cope with the loss.
One local said: “Hearing the man’s screams is so tragic and heartbreaking.”
Another added: “It’s really common, I bet it was a bullied calf.”
A third suggested: “Maybe the cow was mistreated and took its revenge?”
