Worrying footage shows how cows are becoming painfully thin as drought ravaged their grazing fields.<br /><br />Faremer Somchai Muangwiset, 45, loaned 300,000 THB cash (7,580 GBP) from the bank for raising cows in Ang Thong, central Thailand.<br /><br />He had to stop farming rice due to the parched land caused by a devastating lack of rain and hoped that livestock would rekindle some of his income.<br /><br />But the farmer said today (Jan 13) that raising cows is becoming equally difficult as there is little grass for them to graze on and they have started losing weight.<br /><br />He said: "I loaned a huge amount of money from the bank that I spent on farming and buying cows to raise and sell them on for profit.<br /><br />"Things started to go wrong because of the drought. I had to stop farming and rely on cows but then my cows have become very skinny because the grass has dried out.<br /><br />"The closest fertile meadow is miles away so I now I am hoping that there will be rain soon and only then will things get better."
