‘What hurts most is there is no lesson to be learnt, no preventative action that can be taken, no management practice that can prevent it,’ the post read.
‘One bolt of lightning, presumably in the big storm on Christmas Day. I can generally hold back the tears, but not this time.’
After sharing the heartfelt comments, Ms Francis received a backlash from people claiming to be vegans.
‘The only reason this ‘farmer’ is hurt is because they would make $$$ off their backs,’ one post read.
‘Do you really think the ‘farmer’ is upset when these cows go off to be slaughtered? No of course not.
‘We are 100 per cent upset at the death of these beautiful creatures – however we are under no disillusion that you ever intended any other outcome for them,’ anther read.

In response to those comments, Ms Francis said her ‘sense of humour has deserted me’.
‘My tolerance for black-hearted vegans is at an all time low. I will get through the comments eventually.
‘Continue with your pure ignorance of what lies in a farmers heart if you must, but what is most obvious with your comments, is the pure darkness, the blackness in your vegan hearts, that you can take glee in such a post and push your agenda.’
She said the comments she had received slamming her for posting the photos ‘makes my skin crawl’.
‘Right now, you are exhibiting every reason militant vegans are viewed with such disdain.’
