Nazi-bred cows so aggressive farmer had to turn them into sausages

Tom Bawden (editedJan 05, 2015 (Picture: Corbis A herd of cows that were genetically-engineered by the Nazis turned out to be so aggressive that a British farmer had to turn over half of them into sausages. Derek Gow imported 13 Heck 'super cows' to his Devon farm in 2009, but had to terminate seven of them after they repeatedly tried to kill his staff.
