Young rescued steer becomes 'best friends' with elderly horse

March 9 (UPI) -- A California farm shared the story of the unlikely close friendship that sprouted between a rescued steer and a horse.

Sweet Farm in Half Moon Bay said the 3-year-old steer, Gizmo, took a quick liking to 33-year-old stallion Sturgis and the pair have become an inseparable duo.

"At Sweet Farm, Gizmo and Sturgis have become best friends. This pair of rescues - a 3 year year old steer and a 33 year old stallion, are inseparable around the farm. Every day they remind us that friendship knows no shape, size or color," the farm said in a Facebook post.

The farm said Gizmo walks to the stables each day to wait for Sturgis to finish breakfast so they can visit the pasture together.
