Disturbing footage shows a row of dead cows in the aftermath of a thunderstorm in late August in Red River County, Texas. The animals had burn marks on their stomachs, according to the farmer, Texas rancher Bobby Woody III. The video shows one of the cow’s bodies stretched out more towards the middle of the field on the ranch. Woody said the lighting bolt was so strong, it jolted one cow away from the herd. A total of 15 cows and eight calves were found dead.

A lightning bolt has killed 23 cows after it hit one and then traveled along a metal fence the others were standing next to.
Disturbing footage shows the animals, which have scorch marks on their stomachs, lying in a row on a farm in Texas after a thunderstorm.
Rancher Bobby Woody III said it was one of the ‘wildest and craziest’ things he had ever witnessed.
‘When the lightning hit, it had such strong voltage, it basically jolted one cow in the middle of the field,’ Woody wrote on Facebook.
