Just before the auction... 6 hours after the Japanese black beef escapes captured in the river Kagoshima June 15, 17:05
In Kagoshima prefecture, where livestock is thriving, a cow on the verge of abandoned escaped from the livestock market on the 14th, and for some time lost her whereabouts, but was found in a river and was caught about 6 hours later.
The cattle that escaped are female Japanese black beef bred for meat, and weigh about 400 kg.
On the morning of the 14th, a livestock farmer put up at the Aira Chuo Livestock Market in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and took it off from the truck and suddenly started rampaging.
According to a person involved in the market, several livestock farmers tried to calm themselves down, but after swaying this, they could not find out where they were going.
After that, I was found to be in the Tenryu River, about a kilometer away from the market, and police officers and fire officers who contacted me visited the scene.
The cows moved downstream in the water and, according to witnesses, were swimming in the depths like a dog.
Police officers surrounded the cattle and drove them to the riverbank, where they were finally captured about 6 hours later.
The man who witnessed said, "I was surprised to see it because I was really swimming when I went to see it because my grandson said, "Grandpa, a cow is swimming."
In the end, the cow that escaped could not be put into the auction and was brought back by the livestock farmer.
The next auction will be held on the 24th of this month, but I don't know if this cow will come again.
