LAKE PRESTON, Australia (AP) — Knickers the steer is huge on the internet — for being huge.
The black-and-white Holstein Friesian won social media fame and many proclamations of “Holy Cow!” after photos surfaced of the 194-centimeter (6-foot-4-inch) steer standing head and shoulders above a herd of brown cattle in Western Australia state.
Owner Geoff Pearson said Knickers was too heavy to go to the slaughterhouse.
“We have a high turnover of cattle, and he was lucky enough to stay behind,” Pearson said.
Australian media say Knickers is believed to be the tallest steer in the country and weighs about 1.4 tons.
Instead of becoming steaks and burgers, 7-year-old Knickers will get to live out his life in Pearson’s fields in Lake Preston, southwest of Perth.
A fair dinkum way to start the day. Yay Knickers!
I for one welcome our new cow overlords.
Thanks for that
Can we have at least one upbeat post a day that ain’t related to the depressing state of politics and has no photo of Shitler
What an udderly ridiculous story, TPM…
I wonder if Knickers is the result of some sort of genetic / steroid manipulation?
