Publication details
Bosley is a steer raised on Tocal. Bruce is a lecturer at Tocal College which is located on the Tocal property where Bosley was born. Together Bosley and Bruce have taught many students and visitors about farming beef cattle and about caring for livestock.
Bosley is one of the icons of Tocal, since Bruce West recognised that what Bosley lacked in muscle he made up for in temperament. This new children's book is about Bosley and Bruce. It's short, sweet, and a great way to introduce young kids to farming.
