Move to greener pastures for Corobrik’s resident cows
The two cows – named Bonny and Daisy - had free reign, sauntering off the property from time-to-time without any hassle from entrance security.
WHEN two cows arrived at Corobrik’s Avoca factory in 2012, frantic efforts were made to find the owners of these two wandering heifers, but after a fruitless search, the duo promptly took up residence and became part of the Corobrik family.
“It was quite a sight, these two animals on the property and it became quite an attraction for visitors,” said Musa Shangase of Corobrik. “They were always a particular highlight for the children at Corobrik’s annual Christmas party.”
The two cows – named Bonny and Daisy – had free reign, sauntering off the property from time-to-time without any hassle from entrance security. They would graze on the property, drink from the stream or water-filled troughs supplied by Corobrik’s kindly staff, and generally live a relaxed existence.

However, when Bonny went missing a few months back, it was decided that the best option for Daisy would be a re-homing at a nearby farm. A number of generous animal-lovers willingly helped out and Bonny has settled in well at her new home on Camperdown Farm, a rescue home for animals. She is in the company of a herd of four-legged friends.
Shangase said the company sent a heartfelt thanks to all those who assisted in the re-homing, including Steve Smit and Carol Booth from Monkey Helpline; Rourke Crossen from Northway Veterinary Clinic; Ryan van Deventer from Wildlife Solutions; David Bozas from Camperdown Farm and Ann Collins, Materials Manager of Corobrik for the facilitation the re-location process.
“Special thanks were also extended to the staff at Avoca factory who cared for both cows during their almost five-year residency,” Shangase said.
