A lightning strike killed a valuable Holstein dairy cow at an Invergordon farm on Tuesday.

Ashleigh and Jamie Noonan were shocked to discover they had lost a promising cow after a violent storm passed over their property on Tuesday morning.

Some of her progeny are destined for showing and sale at International Dairy Week in January.

Two other Autumn calved heifers were also lost.

The Country Fire Authority was kept busy containing more than 10 small fires caused by a band of lightning that ranged across northern Victoria.
