Cattle Market Fined £82,000 After Fatal Cow Escape

Whitland livestock market held accountable for health and safety failures leading to the death of 75-year-old Huw Evans.

JJ Morris Limited fined £75,000, plus additional costs, for health and safety breaches.
Huw Evans died from multiple injuries after being trampled by an escaped cow in November 2022.
The cow, described as 'agitated' and 'aggressive,' was eventually shot by police.
The market has since installed cattle grids and fencing to prevent similar incidents.
Health and Safety Executive emphasized the incident was 'foreseeable and preventable.'
