The heart-rending and ultimately heartwarming life story of the champion bull AVAILABLE NOW They were inseparable on the farm, unbeatable on the showground and had a bond that will melt the hearts of livestock people and all animal lovers. British Blonde pedigree bull Hallmark Boxster ‘Boxy’ was undefeated at agricultural shows throughout 2009 including the prestigious Great Yorkshire Show. Kate McNeil and her father Ken Jackson were looking forward to carrying on his proud record in 2010 when disaster hit. Kate was his eyes when he suffered near blindness, fought and won the battle in the High Court in London that saved him from slaughter, unmasking what appeared to have been a cover-up to a botched test in a government department, and together in the show ring they were impenetrable. This is the incredible, true and highly emotional story of the relationship that developed between a young woman, farmer’s daughter Kate and her gentle giant bull from a little rural village in Yorkshire. It is a heartwarming tale of their bond that would bring tears, laughter, joy and despair, hope and euphoria over a decade that saw the pair remain inseparable and that saw Kate and her husband Andrew realise their farming dream, becoming pedigree cattle breeders in their own right, through Boxy until Kate had to make the hardest decision of all.
Kate and renowned farming journalist and author Chris Berry combine to produce BOXY & ME A Love That Never Died that tells the whole story of how Kate and Boxy shared every emotion through a decade of highs, lows and new beginnings.
