The drama in the town began at 10.15am when the cow escaped from the mart ground.
Near the Co-op in North Road, it attacked and trampled the man, causing him serious injuries.
Following the attack, the cow went onto the nearby rail track, with trains having to be stopped.
It then made its way to a field where it was 'humanely dispatched'.
Police added that both they and the Health and Safety Executive are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
