You know....I SHOULD have mentioned that also just two blocks down the street from where they did this resides the Iowa State Fair “Super Bull.”
This year’s winner is a Charolais, weighing in at 3,032 lbs. His name is Squirt...LOL! Wonder why they didn’t decide to really “make a statement” by painting old Squirt?
I’m still laughing about them “freeing” the Dairy cows. Seriously...they would just be completely befuddled. I am partial to the Jerseys, too. Grew up on a farm, but we had sheep and hogs...Dad had a nearly irrational hatred of all things bovine.
I did, however, have my own little flock of ducks; and I was constantly trying to sneak the bottle lambs into the house.
2009’s winner, Big Black, apparently holds the record at 3,404 lbs. All I can think of is what it would feel like if he stepped on my foot. Ow.
