Bart the Bull was the first rescue from Wagner Farm by Wagner Farm Rescue Fund in 2002 after a long and necessary contentious public battle for his rescue, and was the catalyst for the founding of the organization. Also slated to be sold for slaughter with Bart were cattle Milkshake, Moodonna, Pumpkin and Bandit - who were also rescued by Wagner Farm Rescue Fund. Bart passed on in 2005 at the age of 9 from heart failure. Bart was and always will be our outstanding herd leader and protector. He is the father of cattle Norman and CoCo, who also were ultimately rescued from Wagner Farm, along with their mothers Snowball and Pumpkin, by Wagner Farm Rescue Fund.
