😳 An unannounced inspection by SCCs Trading Standards Animal Health Team Officers found multiple cattle in extremely poor condition, including numerous dead animals and other emaciated animals unable to stand.

They also found cattle without adequate access to feed or water and calves housed in dirty conditions.

Nearly 100 cattle were removed from the farm to prevent further suffering. Many received extensive veterinary treatment, however, some in such poor health had to be put down.

The inspection was made at Brookside View, Hodge Lane, on 25th March of 2025.

Jennifer Bennett, aged 30, of Brookside View, Hodge Lane, Birchcross, Uttoxeter, appeared before Newcastle Magistrates’ Court today (Thursday 30 July). She was sentenced to a 14-week suspended jail sentence, 12 months of community service, £1,000 in costs plus a £154 victim surcharge, and has been disqualified from keeping animals for ten years.

Ms Bennett’s father, Alan Bennett, who had day-to-day responsibility for the care of the cattle, is due to be sentenced separately at Stafford Crown Court.

The investigation also uncovered suspected offences relating to cattle identification and animal by-products legislation.
