#1 In the future he should have proper grounding on his milking equipment and non-conductive contacts for the milking attachments.

#2 Meanwhile, he should open a BBQ stand.

#3 The cows were clustered together in a paddock about to be milked

That's a legend and what the insurance agent was told. You see I knew these girls..they were all Kinky Kows, their udders were pierced.

#4 The Dairy Farmers Board says it is almost impossible to protect livestock from being killed by electrical storms.

Nah. Just build more golf courses nearby. As tornado target mobile home parks, electrical storms tend to be attracted by people raising poles in the air.

#7 I have to agree with Thrins Chosing7388.

Given that every lawyer, stockbroker and doctor in the US plays golf.

#9 There has been a regular pattern of wild electrical storms along the New South Wales coast since the year dot. They are called Southerly Busters and they are hellacious electrical/hail storms. In 1778 one just about blew the brand new colony of Sydney into the harbour.
An example of the hail: A family friend has a terrace house in inner Sydney suburbia. During a hailstorm a few years ago a hailstone came thru his roof, then thru the kitchen ceiling and finally broke off the end of a 4 inch thick grnite workbench.

#11 Well, that makes me feel better about the golf-ball and marble sized hail that trashed my garden this last spring, and made my insurance company fork out for a new roof...
