Photoshop! Oh… you already have that covered. Then I’ll say egads, that is one huge steer. If he was a hippo that lady wouldn’t be smiling… because hippos are hungry.

Cows officially the most deadly large animals in Britain
Of course, in Australia, whence this uber-bovine originates, a six foot cow is not going to deter any Australian, seeing as ALL wildlife there is trying to kill you.

Of course, the historic size of cattle was typically much smaller. It’s only in the past century or so that we’ve bred them to be today’s size. I saw a story on that recently but cannot find it again. But there is this:

I can almost see the wikipedia entry for your fictitious band:
“. . . .forming out of the alt-county foundation present in Austin, TX burgeoning bar band scene of the early 2000’s, Giant Steer initially called themselves “Giant Steer Too Big To Slaughter.” After playing locally for three years and building a solid reputation for driving steel-pedal guitar players insane, Giant Steer was on the verge of breaking up when luck came their way. Garnering interest from a number of smaller labels after a well-received performance opening for The Flaming Lips secret concert at the 2006 South by Southwest Festival, Matador Records signed the band on the condition that they shorten their name due to the fact that “. . .it’s just too damn long to fit on a CD sleeve.””

I believe you have a career as a publicist calling out for you!

Thanks, but (if you’ve ever seen “This Is Spinal Tap”) the stuff practically writes itself. As for being a publicist, sigh same problem as the folks who tell me that my distinctive voice would be perfect for voiceovers but they (and I) have no idea how to get into the field. I mean, I can see myself walking around an entertainment district wearing a sandwich board sign saying “Will Publicize For Food” but would it work?

Start a youtube channel where you add funny voiceovers to existing videos.
For a good example, track down the show, “Fishing with John”.

I don’t need to, I’m intimately familiar with that early 90’s gem. Okay, thanks for the tip!

That’s not what a knacker does. They generally handle whole carcasses, not just small amputated bits.

I saw it said elsewhere that the others aren’t exactly minicows, but they’re a Wagyu (meat) breed that’s generally smaller than Holstein-Friesian cows. And Knickers is huge for a H-F.

Even an auroch, a probable ancestor of domestic cattle, would have been around 180 cm.
