The seven-year-old farmer’s son brought his 16-month-old champion Charolais, called Hallbankgate Dragon, to show off to classmates at Hallbankgate School, near Brampton.
The school’s acting headteacher Chris Thompson said: “Two pupils from class one and two are pulled out of the hat each week to be a VIP, who can wear their own clothes, are introduced to visitors to the school, and they are entitled to bring in their most precious possession, and this is Thomas’s.
“We had the vicar’s dog, and a couple of guinea pigs, but I don’t know how anybody is going to beat this unless they have an elephant.”
Thomas said: “I brought him in because I could show off his trophies. I thought about bringing in Tilly, our puppy, but it would have tried to bite everyone and the bull was safer.”
Unfortunately, Dragon couldn’t be brought into the classroom, so the children went out to look at the beast, who is likely to continue growing and could reach around one-and-a-half tonnes, on the village green.
