Synopsis She was his eyes when he suffered near blindness, fought and won the battle in the High Court 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 an unbeatable team.

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, Boxy from a little rural village in Yorkshire.

It is a heart-warming tale of their bond that would bring tears, laughter, joy and despair, hope and euphoria over a decade that saw the pair remain inseparable until Kate had to make a decision that she found the hardest of all

About Kate McNeil

I have worked within the NHS, most recently as a High‑Fidelity Simulation Educator. In 2012, I left the organisation to become a farmer—a decision shaped by an 18‑month battle with the government to save the life of a bull. Years later, that bull continues to influence my life in the most positive and meaningful ways.
