BOXSTER’S STORY
Chris worked with Kate McNeil in 2012 on a story that was a real David versus Goliath affair. The Jackson family, farmers in Yorkshire, had a routine blood test conducted on their cattle for Bovine TB which resulted in their prize bull worth £20,000 and undefeated in the show ring being sentenced to slaughter. They ended up in the High Court in London challenging DEFRA and beating the government organisation. This is a real tale of the heartbreak, tears and joy that they went through. Kate is Ken Jackson’s daughter and loves her bull, Boxster is still alive today. The book can be purchased via www.boxstersstory.co.uk
