Ken and Ann Farley, farmers, got this amazing creature from a distant relative. They indulged him as a youngster, giving him a lot of freedom, but he doesn’t need anything other than to eat.
Affectionately known as Danniel, the cow exceeds 2 meters in height and weighs more than a ton, making it one of the world’s largest, but the official record has yet to be established. Danniel’s owners sensed something was awry when he was just 6 months old and still being bottle-fed. The cow devoured the containers and proceeded to knock them out of their hands. They had to move him to pasture ahead of schedule; according to the farmer, the monster’s daily diet consists of 50 kg of hay, 8 kg of grain, and a few hundred liters of water. Danniel was never grumpy about his hunger. Due to the exorbitant expense of feeding the cow, it had to be relocated to a special contact farm where the animals may pay for their feed by receiving visits from visitors.
Although the monster is not hostile, few people dare to pet him; most simply stand with their mouths wide when they see him. And why would he do that? Danniel is the lucky one, since he has his own barn erected just for him, as well as a full lunch and everyone’s undivided attention. You may also feed him cookies, since he like them. The present owners have applied to the Guinness Book of Records, but thus far nothing has happened due to bureaucratic delays. Danniel’s predecessor, cow Blossom, who was 5 cm shorter than Danniel, died in 2015, leaving the champion’s position empty.
