A SHEPPARTON home and lifestyle store surprised shoppers on Fryers Street last week with a very special visitor: a charming miniature Belted Galloway bull named Viserys!
Packed to the rafters with giftware (particularly ahead of Mother’s Day over the weekend), store owner Carolyn Young explained the thinking behind the quirky promotion.
“People always say they feel like a bull in a China shop walking through my store,” she said. “So, I thought, why not bring in a real one?”
Carolyn’s son, Brody Young, brought in his nine-month-old gentle giant, proving that not all bulls cause chaos.
The unusual promotion quickly drew attention from stunned shoppers, many doing double takes as they passed the shop or stopping in their tracks at the sight of a miniature bull inside.
Viserys is a nine-month-old miniature stud Belted Galloway bull and part of BT Belties. Brody Young has been caring for the breed since 2015.
While Viserys may not have left with a purchase, his visit certainly gave customers and people passing by something to talk about.
