This is Benny! Benny is Head Cow and in charge of the smaller gang known as the "Bennys" (Benny, Dino & Luigi)- He is truly a magnificent animal but one that needs to be treated with the respect he is due - as do they all - but Benny is very protective of the herd and will defend them if he feels or senses a threat. 

Where animals like cows are left in peace most of the time as they are here, they revert to their natural behaviour and instincts which is why we tend to use the mules to drive around the fields to check the animals and the peremiter fencing - rather than do it on foot - clearly its a lot quicker in a vehicle, but more importantly a lot safer!  Some of the cows of course are very friendly and like a neck scratch, but the Benny's aren't in that category. 

Like Dino and Luigi, Benny is a Hereford and would be described as "prime beef" by the industry. Like his friends he was saved from that fate to live his best life at the sanctuary and if you can help him to continue to do that, it would be amazing :)
