This has to be a typo. 18,000 cows is a huge number. Maybe 1,800.

So the typical Holstein is about two feet wide and 95 inches long (8ft). Standing nut to butt, 18M cows is a good 290M Sq ft. One acre is 44M Sq ft.

So to put it in perspective: this explosion killed about SIX ACRES of cows?

Apparently it was a huge corporate megafarm
