    I'm glad he's being put to pasture instead of slaughtered. That's nice.

    The 7-year-old Holstein-Friesian is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 3,086 pounds. For reference, the average Holstein-Friesian dairy cow typically stands at 4 feet 10 inches and weighs 1,500 pounds, making Kickers a rather large outlier.

    Jordan is at least 6'6".

    I didn’t realize dairy cows were slaughtered for their meat.  Interesting. Upon further reading they are used for ground beef and roast beef.  Who knew?!

    I think they meant the cow is as looooooong as Jordan.

    I think it's weird they call the damn thing a crisper.

    "Oh,  shit man, I burned another one!"

    I'm not sure what happened there.  Perhaps my brain went into the crisper?

    Hahaha fair enough, I let what I normally read here creep into my writing.  Let's be honest though, everyone would be even more ok with it if he was white ;)

    I think McDonald's should buy the cow and release a limited time burger called the McKnicker. "not too big for our crispers!"

    I just clicked on the article for the first time. I had just assumed that this cow was spared because of warm-and-fuzzy feelings about his appearance; maybe he was a tourist attraction or something. 

    Nope. He was just too big to fit in the processing equipment. 

    And they say size doesn’t matter. 
    my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
  • oftenreadingoftenreading Posts: 12,845
    I wonder if that cow is aware of how much bigger he is than the others? 

    Just like, whenever I see a corgi I wonder if it’s envious of the dogs with the normal legs.

    But then you have to wonder if Corgis know that the Queen Of England ranks them at #1...

    I don't think that's much comfort when you are walking around on those little stumps.
    Also, the Queen of England is wrong lol

    Corgis are the worst!  I've never heard a more shrill (and frequent) bark than a Corgi.  
    Unfortunately, we have family members who have Corgis.  Little freaks.
