A farmer in England used his Massey Ferguson 6475 tractor to push a Land Rover off the road after it tried to pass the tractor.

According to the Daily Mail, the incident between the farmer and passengers of the Land Rover was over a fox hunt.

The Land Rover belongs to a group involved with the Cryodon Hunt Saboteurs, a group dedicated to sabotaging the hunts of foxes and other animals.

The vehicle parked on private land while trying to disrupt the hunt and the farmer parked his tractor along the only exit.

Footage from March 12, 2016 shows the vehicle trying to drive past the tractor and the farmer steering his tractor into the Land Rover, forcing it into a ditch.

“I’ve got that all on camera, and you’re going down mate,” one of the passengers says in the video before bleeps are heard covering some strong language.

The vehicle’s driver tries to get the car out of the ditch and the cameraman turns to face the tractor head-on.

The farmer drives his tractor towards the passenger, hitting the Land Rover again and pushing it further into the ditch before driving away.

According to the group’s Facebook page, police were on the scene soon after the video finished, but took no action because the incident took place on private land.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
