This MASSIVE Cow Has Taken The Internet By Storm

By Cameron Moore November 29th, 2018

You won’t believe this picture is REAL!

Okay, so let me clarify:
This week, a steer (female cattle are cows, male cattle are called steers) named Knickers, captured the heart of the Internet by standing horns and shoulders above a herd of cattle on a farm in Australia.

Knickers stands a mighty 6’4”, and he weighs roughly 2,800 pounds! As you can see, he TOWERS over his friends.

Meet Knickers the cow: A seven-year-old Holstein Friesian steer who stands at more than six feet tall and weighs in at a hefty 1.4 tonnes, more than a small car. Knickers lives in Myalup, Western Australia and is nearly twice the size of his fellow cattle but it’s his enormous size that might just save his life. According to owner Geoff Pearson, the black and white beast is simply too big to process at an abattoir. “It was too heavy,” the farmer explains. “I wouldn’t be able to put it through a processing facility. So I think it will just live happily ever after.” The sizeable steer has become an internet sensation and will live out the rest of his years “coaching” the other cows on his farm ????

While his size is not only fascinating, it’s also what has saved his life. You see, Knickers is so big, that he wont fit through a processing facility. Basically meaning Snickers is SO BIG that he won’t fit in the slaughterhouse.

YAY!
