Zell and her partner finished the milking while the sun came up, hoping the eight calves would turn up in their own time, but discovered a neatly cut hole in the fence instead.Zell said the bull calves would only be worth about $150, but the mix of highly sought-after dairy cows could fetch up to $3,000 a head.from a cattle station in the Western Australian Kimberley region. The cattle were worth $250,000.
“The surveys that we do have show 80% of farmers reporting victimisation, 30% seven or more times – those are very high levels,” he said.“There is an awareness among farmers that they are alone when these offences happen. Fear plays such a big role in relation to other mental health issues, and we know farmers have a much higher rate of suicidality and much higher rates of self-harm compared to the general public. Crime really factors into it,” Mulrooney said.
