A 25-year-old man, Liam Brown, has been prohibited from owning livestock for a decade after being caught engaging in inappropriate activities with a cow on a farm in Burton, Dorset.
Brown was discovered on CCTV, prompting charges of sexual penetration with a living animal and causing unnecessary suffering.
Despite expressing remorse in court, no clear explanation for his actions was provided.
Alongside the livestock ownership ban, he received a 36-month community order, 15 hours of unpaid work, and was ordered to pay £600 in compensation.
