BoBeau peacefully crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 30, 2025 at the age of 12. We rescued him in 2017 when he was four years old. He was being kept on a rope surrounded by nothing but mud–no grass, hay, or water. He was emaciated and dehydrated. He’s a Jersey steer (we think; his dark color is rare for a Jersey) who people have said resembles a bison. BoBeau is a true gentle giant. He’s curious and friendly but always gives humans their space. Until 2021, BoBeau shared a pasture with his best friend, Bambi. Bambi died at the age of eight in 2021, and BoBeau was all alone for a while until we rescued Bam Bam! BoBeau had to wait a few months for Bam Bam to be big enough to join him. Hearing them moo for each other from across the farm was awful, but Bam Bam was only a few months old when we took him in; he was too small and young to go out in a huge pasture, even with protective BoBeau. Once Bam Bam was finally big enough and we let them meet, it was love at first sight. You rarely see one without the other.
