Zus
 

Zus at Leemweg

​

In 2028 Zus and her brother Hermien, caused quite a stir in the Netherlands. They were on the national news having escaped from a cattle transport truck on the way to the slaughter house.  Hermien hid in a forest near Lettele for weeks before he was captured. Zus was found and brought back quick quickly. Thanks to her brother Hermien's new found fame, a party for the animals started a crowdfunding campaign for both cows to be saved. Zus was eventually reunited with her brother at Leemweg and they both will spend the rest of their life there -  in the stable during the colder months and in the warmer months out in the pasture (with the large herd). Because of the trauma they both endured prior to arriving at Leemweg,  Zus and Hermien are wary of people.  I could only admire them from a distance. However Bert, the amazing guy from Leemweg, has completely gained their trust and is allowed to cuddle them.
