Chilli the giant cow stands at 6ft 6ins and weighs well over a ton
Chilli lives at the Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard, Somerset
Despite his grand stature, Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and enjoys the occasional swede as a treat

Then that's a pretty short girl.
“Listen, babe, you could be big! I mean, you are big — which is the point. Tell you what we’re gonna do. Gonna slap some blue make-up on you and team you with this lumberjack guy. Box office boffo!” — [/Hollywood-speak]

Ever seen my cat?
That’s a lot of burgers.
If that beast is a “he”, it’s NOT a cow!
PETA is gonna “have a cow” when they start cloning this baby.
Bull.
I wonder how much $$$ they could make in stud fees?
Of course, he prefers the bite-sized swedes.
bull/bullock = boy
cow = girl.
Bull and cow in this case are cattle.
Sorry, it just makes me crazy when bulls are referred to as cows. There was a commercial several years ago where this moron does not have any milk for his cereal and then goes out with his bowl to what is obviously a bull.. a female housemate looks at another housemate and says something such as “Should we tell him it is a boy cow?”
I used to scream when I heard that. It was so stupid. I wouldn’t tell him anyway. Let him try to milk a BULL.
I wonder what may have happened had he not been cut?
Didn’t domestic European cattle descend from the Aurochs which was 6’ at the shoulder? I think there is a wild ox in SE Asia which get over 6’ at the shoulder.
