Tokoroa farmer fined $17,500 after 11 animals die from neglect Newshub 1 hour ago © Provided by Newshub A Tokoroa dairy farmer has been fined $17,500 after his neglect of yearling cattle led to the deaths of 11 animals. Rodney Grant Nicol, 61, owns a 300-cow dairy farm and had 110 yearling cattle at the time he was investigated by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) in August 2020. He was sentenced in the Tokoroa District Court after earlier pleading guilty to seven charges under the Animal Welfare Act. Brendon Mikkelsen, MPI s regional manager of animal welfare and NAIT compliance, said seven dead yearlings were found on his paddocks when an animal welfare inspector first visited Nicol s property. Nicol, who told the inspector he believed they had died from parasites, was instructed to drench all his yearlings for parasites within nine working days.
