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.
