    Cristina is often found grazing in other people's ranches , such as the Anses and the Estancia Banco Central. She also gets special fodder brought over in special packages from the Chavez Ranch in Venezuela .

    The ranch owner is reported to be very fed up , and is threatening to get
    the bull Moyano in the pen to sire her , but the calf Maximo is said to be very protective and may not let the bull in the pen .
