Do you remember Big Bob? 🐮
In April 1999, the Beacon Hill Children’s Farm hosted this massive 3,700 lb Chianina x Limousin bull for about three weeks.
His appetite was as huge as he was. Big Bob could eat about 15 kilograms of grain each day, plus A LOT of hay at snacktime. Big Bob belonged to a vet on the mainland and was shown at the PNE in the summer.
We’ll never forget his time at the farm. He made a enormous impression 😉
