Oh My God! It's A Giant Cow!


His name is Chilli and he's described as a gentle giant. His owners have contacted the Guinness Book of Records who are currently assessing his credentials and comparing them to other big bovines. The black and white Friesian bullock weighs well over a ton and is the same height as a small elephant.

The heifer, who is almost as high as he is long, lives at the Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard, Somerset, England, after he was left on their doorstep aged just six-days-old. Nine years on, Chilli has kept on growing, and staff believe the giant will smash a record for Britain's tallest ever cow.

You call it a heifer, but then keep saying "he". Which is it? Heifers are female cows before they have their first calf.

From what I have seen of this bovine animal,"HE" is neither a Cow(female who has given birth),Heifer(younger unbred female)Nor a Bull or Bullock(intact adult male) as articles state he has been castrated.Therefore,at least in American cattle terminology,"He",would be a"Steer"(neutered adult male bovine)
