Ten cattle were killed in a lightning strike on a farm in Co Cavan yesterday. The incident occurred in the Butlersbridge area at around 8pm. Met Éireann had issued a Status Yellow thunderstorm warning for the county, which was valid until 6pm yesterday evening. The ten suckler-bred heifers, owned by a farmer from the area, are understood to have taken shelter from the heavy rain under a tree in the middle of the field. A bolt of lightning then struck the earth, killing them instantly.
