Ansbach: Farmer is said to have had a reduced culpability
The man had had a fattening farm since 2014.
Out of the original 217 cattle, 171 died of starvation, as it turned out about five months ago.
When the cattle were found, the survivors were already so weak that they had to be euthanized or slaughtered.
The farmer had not given the animals enough to eat.
According to a psychological report, the man is said to have been less responsible during the period in which the animals died in agony.
