Bonnie the supermum cow

Bonnie23 is being smartened up for her photo call as the photographers wait with bated breath. The occasion: this high-achieving resident of Ossekampen experimental farm has produced 100,000 litres of milk.

On top of a family - she has had 10 calves. Bonnie23 has participated in numerous experiments. Farm staff describe her as 'a very lively lady who knows how to stand up for herself in the cowshed'. Hats off to Bonnie.
