Ginourmous Cow as Big as a Small Elephant

Published on May 14th, 2008

(Click photo for extremely dangerous activity)

His name is Chilli and he’s described as a gentle giant. Which is just as well for his handler, Tara Nirula, pictured by his side. His owners have contacted the Guinness Book of Records who are currently assessing his credentials and comparing them to other big bovines. The black and white Friesian bullock weighs well over a ton and at the same height as a small elephant, casts a shadow over his cattle companions who are about 5ft. Despite his grand stature, Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and enjoys the occasional swede as a treat.

I’m not sure what a swede is, but I am pretty sure this cow is personally responsible for global warming.

Thanks to Ian Warner.

@Sadtruth

Dammit! You stole my punch line!

“Swede” is a turnip variety.

How does the beef taste? Will it be cloned? That’s one big Cowpie.

C’mon… they Photoshopped the man to look smaller.

#8. I think thats a woman. And I thought it was shopped too, then I saw it on the Today show this morning. I was hoping it would sit on Matt Lauer.

WHY…WON’T…THIS…WIG…COME…OFF?

# 11 bjer said, on May 14th, 2008 at 8:55 am

Very big cow, but the image perspective helps it look even bigger. The woman is standing back further than the front hooves, and the camera was close to the ground…

Dude looks like a lady

A Swede is a Swedish Turnip, a Rutabaga.

This message brought to you by Canada, where we need to know both Britspeak and Yanktalk.

#3, 13: Judging by the size of the thing I think that they have misspelled swede vs. Swede. Ie. the first entry in the Wiki for Swede: A resident of Sweden.

# 15 RSchlup said, on May 14th, 2008 at 9:12 am

If he’s a HE, he’s not a cow, but a Bull. Or, at the very least a steer.

# 16 J said, on May 14th, 2008 at 9:44 am

I wonder if that cow suffers from the same thing Andre the Giant did?

# 17 julieb said, on May 14th, 2008 at 10:54 am

Mmmm. Looks delicious.

# 18 Pete said, on May 14th, 2008 at 11:39 am

think of the size of the steaks.. yummy!

# 19 wanker said, on May 14th, 2008 at 11:47 am

All I can say is “Suck it Texas”! Take your girly-cows and hang your head in shame!

# 20 ECA said, on May 14th, 2008 at 11:59 am

Cameras DONT show perspective…
LOOK HARD..
LOOK AT THE LEASH…
The girl is at least 10 feet BACK.. and there is a small slope…
Its abit OFF, and more af an illusion then you may think.

>Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and…
at night, becomes a ferocious were-cow, terrorizing the local villagers.

# 22 RLF said, on May 14th, 2008 at 12:07 pm

This boy like this site is called BULL!!

# 23 Jetfire said, on May 14th, 2008 at 12:12 pm

FTA “He now stands at 6ft 6ins from the floor to the top of his shoulder and he is massive when he holds his head up.” So it’s around a foot and a half taller than normal cows. The woman in the picture could also be on the short side.

I hear Cheney and his secret energy cabal wants to cut him up and see if they can make oil out of him.

They also Photoshopped him to look like a woman too.

# 26 andy said, on May 14th, 2008 at 4:19 pm

they might be playing with perspective a bit, but this definitely doesn’t have the stink of that hogzilla story

# 27 Dennis said, on May 14th, 2008 at 4:21 pm

Cripes, is no one going to point out the obvious error?? The title and the final comment refer to a cow, but the body of the story says Chili is a bullock (uh, a young BULL). Come on guys, don’t geeks know the difference between a cow and a bull?

# 28 andy said, on May 14th, 2008 at 4:25 pm

i just figured bulls aren’t supposed to be that big either

# 29 LtJackboot said, on May 14th, 2008 at 4:31 pm

Imagine the STEAKS!!!

# 30 McCullough said, on May 14th, 2008 at 7:08 pm

#27. Dennis- Do Farmers know the difference between a resistor and a capacitor….probably not.

Actually I live on a ranch and do know the difference and posted in haste, can you find it in your heart to forgive my egregious error????

# 31 JPV said, on May 14th, 2008 at 7:22 pm

I wonder how many Big Macs would he make?

Hmmm…

6ft 6ins tall and 1.25 tonnes. Hmmm… I don’t think the photo is much of an illusion at all. No matter what, that’s a big cow.

Did you even bother to look at the other photos?

Probably not…

Wonder what kind of 4H prize it would win ?

# 35 Joshua said, on May 14th, 2008 at 11:22 pm

I’ve never seen so many people who just don’t bother to read the story with the photo.

When you look at the other photo’s you realize it’s real. Unless those girls are 2′ tall.

And they ARE girls. And the story refers to the **cow** as a **he** several times. And while *bullock* means balls in English, somehow I think they are referring to the bovines gender.

Friesian’s can get pretty damned big.

# 36 Bob said, on May 15th, 2008 at 3:20 am

Just a little Photoshop enhancement…

Look closer at the animals right side and right rear hoof.

# 37 Mr. Gawd Almighty said, on May 15th, 2008 at 3:21 pm

#35, joshua,

*bullock* means balls in English

Once again you show us your lack of intelligence. A bullock is another name for an immature bull or a steer.

***

This is a Friesian. They are raised for their milk production. You wouldn’t want a steak from this guy as it would be stringy and tough.

Most male Holsteins are raised for a short time before being turned into hamburg although some are raised as veal. The hamburg fate is reserved for old cows and bulls past their serviceable life.
