Knickers the giant Australian cow

Steer, actually. He's so big the other cows consider him God.


At some 1,400kg (220st) and 194cm (6ft 4in), the seven-year-old is believed to be the biggest steer in a country home to millions of cattle.

Ha ha ha, they kill me with their fer'ner numbers. kilograms to stone in case kilograms are meaningless to you. Even their numeric translations are fer'in;  To get pounds you must multiply kilograms by 2.2 or multiply stone by 14 for 3,080 lbs.

That's useless without knowing a regular cow weighs on average 1,500 lbs.

The article at BBC News says the steer was too big to butcher, so he was brought back home to grow even bigger.
