Steer Too Beefy to become hamburgers gets a pastoral respite

(LAKE PRESTON, Australia) – Knickers, the bar is huge on the Internet – to be huge.

The black-and-white Holstein Friesian has gained a reputation on social media and many proclamations of "holy cow!" Following the publication of photos of the leadership of 194 cm (6'4 ") standing head and shoulders above a brown cattle herd in the state of Western Australia.

Owner Geoff Pearson said that Mr. Knickers was too heavy to go to the slaughterhouse.

"We have a high turnover of cattle and he was fortunate to stay here," Pearson said.

Australian media say Knickers is the country's highest flyweight and weighs around 1.4 tons.

Instead of becoming steaks and hamburgers, seven-year-old Knickers will live in the Pearson Fields in Lake Preston, southwest of Perth.
