What was very likely the biggest bovine in the world died on Tuesday in a farm just outside of Steinbach.
“Dozer”, a seven-year-old steer, lived and died on Kismet Creek Farm, south of the city. At his most recent measurement, he was 6' 5".
“He did kind of put us on the map,” offers Owner Karl Schoenrock. “Having such a ginormous beauty seemed to attract more attention than normal.”
That may, in fact, be an understatement. Dozer’s appeal stretched far and wide. The sheer size of him gave the small animal sanctuary he called home international fame in 2018 when he was found to be as big if not bigger than “Knickers”, a celebrity cow from Australia who measured in at 6’4”.
