A huge steer weighing some 1,400 kilograms and standing 1.94 meters tall is making headlines around the world as Australia's largest.
Geoff Pearson reared the Holstein Friesian named “Knickers,” which is seven years old. He told local media he could not sell the beast for export because of its enormous size.
The title of world's tallest living steer belongs to Bellino, a Chianina ox in Italy, according to Guinness World Records. The ox measured 2.027 meters in March 2010.
