An estimated 18,000 milking cows were killed, and one person was left critically
injured, after an explosion ripped through a Texas dairy farm on Monday.
Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the blast.
The Castro County Sheriff’s Office confirmed with Fox News Digital the cows
were in a holding area before being brought in for milking when the fiery blast
engulfed the Southfork Dairy Farm in Dimmitt.
The explosion rocked nearby houses and a pall of smoke could be seen 30 miles
away.
Farmer’s Weekly reports the blaze spread so rapidly farmworkers were
trapped inside the milking parlour by smoke and flames or were beaten back
by the heat, preventing them from freeing cattle.
