The big cow has inspired a lot of hope and joy

Have you heard about the big cow? He is very big —enormous, actually. 

Knickers, the seven-year-old Australian cow (technically, a steer), stands over six-feet tall, and weighs a whopping 3,086 pounds, which is about 1.4 tonnes. A giant. 

And, if those facts alone don't convince you of Knickers' massive stature, just take a gander at this photo of him towering over a heard of cows:

He's real big.

Stay big, Knickers. Stay big.
