Welp, the internet has even got to Knickers.
We already know the power the internet has to turn absolutely anything to into a hilarious meme. I mean if people can turn the "they did surgery on a grape" clip into a meme, no content is safe. So when the story of Knickers the cow broke you know its meme-power was instant.
So you probably know about Knickers already – he's a pretty big deal. The Australian steer has been attracting some attention at the moment because he stands at 6ft 4in and weighs a whopping 2,800 pounds. It's fair to say he towers above the rest of the herd. However, his stature has saved him from becoming a burger. Knickers was deemed too big to fit in the slaughterhouse, so he's living the rest of his life on a farm in Western Australia and helping to look after the smaller cattle.
Knickers went viral after a segment on the Channel 7 News over in Oz, which showed him towering over a group of young Wagyu cattle. Of course, one particular photo of Knickers sticking out in the herd like a sore thumb is being used as a meme.

Holy cow! This may be the biggest steer we've ever seen
So. Damn. Accurate.

Cow news is the only news I want to hear from now on. Thank you.
People: "If only there were some good news sometimes."

The internet: "Here's a really big cow."
People: "Close enough for now."
Sadly, Knickers' existence is a lil' bit of a lie. He's not even a cow. Knickers is a Holstein steer, which are usually a considerably bigger than cows. He's also seven-years-old and the Wagu cattle – which usually grow to just over 4ft – he's standing amongst are around one.
Despite that, there's no denying that Knickers is thicc. The internet thanks you Knickers.
