Meet Beef, a gentle giant with a world record title!
He’s the tallest living steer, with a height of 6 ft 5 in (1.95 m) and weight of 2,500 pounds (1,133.9 kg). 🐂
But let’s get to know more about him…
Jasmine Entz has had Beef since the day he was born!
She remembers seeing his tiny face covered in straw and thinking: “He’s the one!”
Do you have a similar bond with a pet? Or would you like to, one day?
Beef was born and raised in Alberta, Canada. Jasmine was looking for a steer to ride and quickly fell in love with Beef.
So, when he turned 2, he started wearing a saddle and was ready to ride…
But he soon grew so big that no saddle could fit him! 😂
Jasmine didn’t notice his size all at once.
Over time, he just kept growing so, within 2 years, he was taller than her, and within 4, he was nearly 6 feet tall!
What does Beef eat?
He consumes over 100 pounds (45 kg) of a plant named alfalfa every day which is around 2,500 pounds (1,134 kg) each month – that’s as heavy as he is! 🤪
He also munches on lots of grass and hay.
Yummy!
And what about his personality?
According to Jasmine, he’s a gentle giant and a great steer for visitors to see.
He loves being fed snacks (especially pumpkins) for receiving scratches and he is super friendly!
About the visitors, Jasmine said:
“The closer you get to him, the bigger he seems! My favourite part is seeing the looks on people's faces when we approach him laying down, and they watch as he unfolds and rises!
“The most common comment I hear is ‘I've never seen a cow that big’, which always makes me chuckle!”
Jasmine and Beef share lots of amazing memories together, and she is very proud of his amazing record title.
She continues to support his growth with yummy and healthy foods, and makes more memories with him every single day! ❤️
