Cattle 'not allowed to have cosmetic surgery'

Conveners of an Australian agricultural show are so concerned at the rise of cosmetic surgery among cattle breeders that they have issued new rules forbidding it.

ABC News Online says Tasmania's Agricultural Show Council thinks some breeders are enhancing their animals in an attempt to win prizes.

So is has issued a code of ethics which a spokesman said is meant to reinforce the point that the animals must look natural.

"We don't want cows' teats sealed or glued," he said. "We don't want people pumping cows' stomachs up to expand the stomach. We don't want any interference at all as far as the conformation of the animal is concerned.

"We want to put them in the show ring as they have bred them."
