Emyr Wigley is selling the last of his herd which has raised thousands for two charities.
Emyr, 78, from Deytheur, near Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain, Powys, said: "All her time and years were taken off her. What hurts me the most is all the work, all the sacrifices she did to get us where we are."
The money Emyr fetches from selling the herd, known as The Old Stackyard Blues, will be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Action and Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution charities.So far, those sales have made more than £120,000 for charities, and the final 33 cattle are being auctioned in Shrewsbury on Saturday.He said: "There's more pleasure in helping other people than helping yourself.
"I will always feel lucky that I was in that pen when the animal spooked and he was ultimately crushed and trampled on. I was able to get him out and I have some medical training so I was able to look after him."
