"Farmer killed in cow attack tragedy"

From the North West Evening Mail:

AN award-winning farmer died of a heart attack minutes after being kicked by a cow.

Wilson Boow, of Corney Hall Farm, Bootle, was out with his son Stephen when the incident* happened. An ambulance was called at around 11.25am on Wednesday and the Great North Air Ambulance attended, but Mr Boow died following a heart attack...


* The article doesn't go into much detail on the actual attack.

What was the award again?

Perhaps the cow was enraged that the farmer had been credited with her award?

They can be very moooody at times.

JH, the article says that he "won a number of awards for the quality of his Holstein cattle."

Ch, good point. That cud well be the explanation.
