Check out the size of Australia's biggest steer, Knickers. / ABC
Knickers the steer is a bit on the shy side, but the bovine behemoth tends to stick out from the herd.
As you might have guessed, that is Knickers at the back of the photo — the black and white one with a couple of normal-sized cows sheltering under itsbelly.
Standing 194cm tall and weighing 1.4 tonnes, the seven-year-old Holstein Friesian is unofficially Australia's biggest steer.
While all that bulk makes it hard for Knickers to blend in, being heavier than a family sedan does have its advantages.
Third generation Myalup cattle farmer Geoff Pearson said Knickers' startling size had saved him a trip to the abattoir.

"It was too heavy. I wouldn't be able to put it through a processing facility," he said.
"So I think it will just live happily ever after."
Knickers is attracting plenty of media attention.
Knickers cost his owners $400. They bought him as a "coach" — an animal that could take charge of the herd and show them the ropes of life on the farm.
