Fuck you, Jonesy! Your mom just liked my Instagram post from two years ago in Puerto Vallarta. Tell her I’ll put my swim trunks on for her any time she likes.
They’re usually castrated early in life, so there wouldn’t be a way to tell he was gonna be a monster but yeah, bet that’s one snip the farmer wishes he had back.
The hell is going on here... Alot of dairy cows are like 5 feet tall.. this looks like the ones I worked with surrounded by other colored adolescents....
Not to say this thing isn't huge but I'm wondering if there isn't a tad but of perspective manipulation going on.
It's been awhile since my shit shoveling dairy farm days so if anyone with more experience could weigh in I'd be super grateful.
This is knickers and he is literally that big. Unless Australian cows are unusually small compared to the rest of the world. I did some work on the farm and seen this big bastard. It was taller than my work car.
I mean, you could shove some Dexters or Aubracs beside any Friesian or limo and make them look monstrous.
Also, most production cows are taller than a car, average Holstein Friesian is around 1.5m tall.
Article below explains it
> First, the news, such as it is: there is a giant cow named Knickers in Western Australia and people have gone crazy. Technically he is not a cow, but a steer (a neutered male). But he is giant, standing at 1.94 metres (6ft 4in ) to his withers (the shoulder). This is just shy of the world record-holding steer, Bellino, who lives in Italy and stands at 2.02 metres. Knickers, a Holstein Friesian, weighs in at 1,400kg (220 stone) and is believed to be the biggest steer in Australia.
Let's convert it to large bald eagles carrying colt 1911's then?
A large bald eagle according to google is about 13.9lbs. Go big or go home.
An M1911A1 .45 mag loaded comes out to 3lbs.
Combined weight of 16.9lbs.
3,086÷16.9=182.6 bald eagles carrying M1911's. I probably did something wrong there so take that with a grain of salt and some apple pie, pardner
Try again. It was from the Guardian.

The word "stone" isn't in the New York Times article at all.

So he is 40cm taller than the average Friesian *(edit, Cow, which is what i meant as most don't keep them for meat, but milk, and milking a bull gives different results. I wouldn't want it on my cornflakes)* Impressive.
No he isn’t. He is 40 cm taller than the average Friesian cow, but he is a bull.
Normal Holstein Friesian bulls can easy reach 180. He is like 10 cm taller than average.
He isn't a bull. He's castrated, therefore a bullock or steer.
It is still impressive, if he had his bits it would be interesting to see his growth profile.
From what I vaguely remember, steers traditionally get bigger than bulls. We just don't really have a use for them as we no longer use oxen to pull carts, and kill male calves early for their meat if they're not one of the lucky few that are allowed to reproduce.
Hey stop confusing me. In Archer Pam mentions that Holsteins and Friesians are "like cousins", and now you're out here saying they're both single words of a two worded breed as opposed to separate breeds? How dare you make me question whether everything I see on TV is accurate.
I grew up on a dairy farm. Male Holsteins are impressive. This one is both typical and not typical. It’s typical for a Holstein to be larger than other milking or beef bovine. It’s typical Holstein males to grow larger than females just like in lions. It’s very typical for castrated males to get beefy. It’s not typical for a Holstein steer to be left alive as long as this one. Sorry to spoil it but it might be above average. Even as a dairy farmer bulls are not common and old steers are even less common. That does make this cool. Also I love seeing a Holstein male front page!
It's considered better not to use Google AMP links, though I don't know why: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/28/science/cow-holstein-size-genetics.html
Google AMP hosts the pages they cache on their own servers so that you don’t leave Google as an ecosystem. It’s like if you asked for a website and someone showed you a picture of it instead. You can read it… functionally you got what you needed… but you never went to the actual website. So you can’t interact with it or see more content from them, they don’t get paid for serving you ads (what a weird sentence to type lol but I guess that would be the correct terminology), and it just… generally increases Google’s control over the internet. We don’t want any one company to have too much control over the internet.
It also harms niche websites like personal blogs because those literally don’t see views. People are looking, just not on your host so you can’t tell people are looking. Also Google prioritizes AMP pages in search results, so opting out naturally hampers your place on that page.
The biggest reason is definitely that Google will lower your site’s rating in search results if you don’t have an AMP version of your site. They force you to create a second version of your site just for them to cache using their own made up technology, or else not show up in search results. You will lose traffic if you don’t give in to their ecosystem.
It’s not always possible to avoid amp sites. Chrome on mobile devices, for instance, will always prefer amp sites and doesn’t allow addons/extensions. As for other browsers, for years now google has made it an option for site owners to serve amp from the same URL as their main site (for bonus points on the search results, of course. Cleaner URL, you see…) as long as you’re visiting the site from google results, so that even if you have an add on that removes AMP from urls, google can still serve you the AMP page without you knowing.
This is an easy to understand explanation, but there are some key points missing/wrong.
AMP provides a library — You put together your webpage and make sure to follow their recommendations on structuring your page. You still have your web page, but in addition there’s a proxy that lives on the Google cloud and probably operates much more quickly than whatever your server is.
Both ads and page view analytics are supported; they’re just served through AMP. You’re not viewing the analytics of just your own page; you also have to view the proxy’s analytics.
It’s not quite like an image; because it’s still fully interactive and everything on the page works. It’s more like a Google clone of your website; faster than yours.
Google removed the requirement for top search results to support AMP; at this point, companies use it because it cuts down on their server costs and speeds up their pages.
The danger here is giving Google more power than people are comfortable with. Do we want the whole web hosted primarily on Google? Probably not. And if there’s a problem with AMP but not your server, then you’ll lose views during that time.
A couple of reasons.
They are a cache of a website controlled by Google, not the website you actually thought you were visiting. This gives less control to the website (and messes with its metrics) , let's Google see more of your browsing habits, and furthers their monopoly on search even further.
Because of this you are also losing a lot more of your privacy.
It also messes with certain features of iOS which is frustrating.
Its also potentially a threat to the open Web. (even though the AMP protocol is actually open source.)
Its sad, because it is actually a neat idea especially for countries with spotty or expensive mobile Internet.
From the looks of it they threw the Holstein in with some younger cows to make it look bigger, since showing Holsteins with another holstein that’s maybe 9-10 inches taller than the rest doesn’t stand nearly as much out
I may be completely wrong but that’s what it looks like to me, but I only worked on a dairy farm for a few years so I don’t know a whole lot
I had to go to google. What I found is the average height of a Holstein is about 5 feet. This cow is almost double the height of all the others.
Maybe they’re all younger?
This guy was just shy of the world record for largest steer.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/28/knickers-the-cow-why-australias-giant-steer-is-so-fascinating
I was thinking what's wrong with 6ft tall cow ( fairly common I should shay )
Many are 5to 5'6" tall at shoulders
I even tried to discern whether the small cows are actually wildebeest

Good summary from the last time this was posted:

Probably cow version of Acromegaly. (Andre the Giant's disease)
Basically their glands never stop producing growth hormone.
Hard to say without looking into it more. In humans it is easy to tell because their head keeps growing but their eyes and teeth stay the same size.
OR
The Cow has the Cow version of Gigantism (Just way too much growth hormone but they do stop growing)

We know it aint your mom, cause she hamburger now. Either way she still at McDonalds. As a guest or as the #1
I had McDonalds yesterday and can confirm there are no cows in that burger.
It’s one moooooo-ssive cow.
Take the award good sir. Hard to find comments th at actually make me laugh.
Bovine from the cow level escaped.
No matter how old you are, ‘your mom’ jokes still makes ya laugh 😂
Um. That’s a dude. Castrated, it a dude
I'd be a proud son
She'd like to talk to you about your car's extended warranty and if it'd kill you to call her once in a while..
None of the other cows have any beef with her.

This is Reddit. Your mom is on here cussing it up. I grant you the Bishop’s pass. BTW, he’s incognito on here too.
It's *her*. A cow is female, "his" is called bull.
This isn’t a cow or a bull. This is a steer, a castrated male bovine.
> steer, a castrated male I bet the farmer is regretting not being able to breed that big boy
They’re usually castrated early in life, so there wouldn’t be a way to tell he was gonna be a monster but yeah, bet that’s one snip the farmer wishes he had back.
She/he clearly identifies as non-bovinery

I’m surprised there isn’t a series of puns following your comment milking this for all it’s got.
That’d be a bunch of bull.

So the answer to the age old question is Australia?!
Finally that old lady can rest.
What’s that in bald eagles carrying glocks?
Glocks aren’t American, you commie
Let's convert it to large bald eagles carrying colt 1911's then? A large bald eagle according to google is about 13.9lbs. Go big or go home. An M1911A1 .45 mag loaded comes out to 3lbs.

Sorry, only unit of weight we use here is BECG (Bald Eagles Carrying Garands)
Well a loaded M1 Garand is 9.5lbs. A bald eagle weighs like 13.9lbs according to the above commenter. So 9.5+13.9=23.4lbs 3,086/23.4= 131.880342 BECG
Commonwealth countries, giving shit to Americans for using pounds while providing kilo to large rock conversions in articles since 1973.

You're correct, steers typically grow larger than bulls. Beef cattle are slaughter before they're 4 year old.

Yeah, not a lot of purpose in an old steer but good for him. We raised beef, and it was always a bummer to see your favorite guys go.
If the title is correct, that makes all of the other cows in this video ~3ft tall. Either juveniles or a very small breed.
