COPAKE, N.Y. (AP) – State police in New York say an upstate dairy farmer shot and killed 51 of his milk cows in his barn before turning the rifle on himself.

State police found the body of 59-year-old Dean Pierson in his Copake barn on Thursday. A visitor found a note Pierson had left on the barn door that said not to come in and to call police.

State police would only say that Pierson was having personal issues.

The Columbia County hamlet of Copake is about 115 miles north of New York City.

Local farmers buried the cows outside the barn Friday. They would not discuss Pierson or what had happened, but one of the men said these are hard times to be a farmer.

Wut is this I don't even....murdering animals because you are financially phailing?

Poor guy

Sounds like he really was going through a rough spot and just couldn't cope. The note implies he may have wanted help, though sadly it wasn't seen in time

It disgusts me that the media even know that the farmers burried the cows. Good on the farmers for not saying much. Media should stay away

dean pierson ? what a nice name.

wow... poor cows and poor guy :/

horrible waste of good delicious meat

Well, now they're free. Unless dead cows were part of that guy's will.

Milk cows.


Farmer could have just sold the cows, instead of killing them.
