An enormous cow in Australia is enjoying something of a star turn as its jaw-dropping size has sparked headlines around the world. The seven-year-old Holstein Friesian steer named 'Knickers' reportedly stands a stunning six feet four inches tall and weighs a whopping 3,000 pounds. Although not official just yet, it is believed to be the largest cow in all of Australia, which boasts a considerable cattle industry.
Fortunately for Knickers, it would seem that his tremendous size has been a saving grace as abattoirs passed on purchasing the animal at auction last year because their equipment could not accommodate the giant steer. That said, were one to feast on the fantastic beast, experts say that the cow would likely yield an amazing 1,400 pounds of meat, including as astounding 450 various cuts of steak.
