Standing at 6’4” and weighing over 3,000 lbs, the seven-year-old Holstein steer known as Knickers has grown to large for the slaughter house. Originally acquired as a “coach” to lead other cattle to their end, Knickers’ owners noticed too late that the animal kept getting bigger and bigger. The remarkable animal will be left to live out the rest of his life in a Perth, Australia feed lot. More

Hate to nit pick, but “…has grown to large for the slaughter house.”
“Too” not “to”.
I’m guessing he also produces more manure than an average cow?
Mitchell Rupe had that gig in WA State claiming to be “too fat to hang”.
Knickers had better not cop an attitude, beef is better before its old.
I know of some people that should get that lucky.
I blame globull warming….
Yeah, I’m not sure I’m buyin’ this…unless the other cattle around him are some pygmy variety. I could see him getting fat as hell, but I don’t think a bull’s bone structure has no limit to it’s size.
What, there’s no Knicker knacker?
So Knickers is a “coach” that leads other cattle to slaughter. He is the Bernie Sanders of the bovine world.
If that picture is for real then he’s one huge bull! I’ll wager the semen collectors are going to keep him contented! The poor slobs.
@gin blossom – Alas, Knickers is a steer.
@Wyatt: “So Knickers is a “coach” that leads other cattle to slaughter. He is the Bernie Sanders of the bovine world.”
More like George Soros from his Nazi period.
@gin blossom –
He’s a steer, no nuts
Steroids in the feed
My parents raised cattle and they had them shot and dressed out right on the grass. He’s not too big; someone either wants to keep him as a breeder or a marketer – or pet.
Change the I in knickers to O and you’ll get more site visits.😉
Just for you Different Tim

That’s a lot of bull.
A steer. oops I was steered wrong.
Knickers is probably pictured with Australian Lowline cattle, to accentuate his height.
A bullet and a truck of buns, problem solve.
Reminds me of all the McDonalds customers
Thanks BFH, that was utterly fantastic. Something about a cow but listening to her I only thought of the milk.
