It would have to be a Rare Breed, but which one do the SWs visualise it as being?

I think the original rare breed cow Nigel had was a Sussex, she had a name too but it escapes me, and (iirc) a calf. So possibly General Custard is one of her descendants or another Sussex bought in as part of what, I get the impression, is a massive expansion of LL's rare breeds exhibits over the years.

That makes sense - thanks, Reggie.
The bulls are a fair size - not sure I'd encourage a child to sit on something like this ;

He may look formidable, c-b, but beef bulls, and I think Sussex are a beef breed, are known for their docility. Generally it's only dairy bulls that need handling with care.
If you've ever been to an agricultual show you will have noticed that whilst both beef and dairy cows are exhibited dairy bulls are never shown. So GC should be okay for riding on despite his size. Although we do know now that Nigel was a bit a a risk taker.
