Damn, how they stand next to him and are not afraid. I’m afraid to go near the cows again. You never know what's on their mind. In general, this is a Holstein bull named Daniel who lives on Ken Furley's farm in California. His height is 193 centimeters. This fact is included in the Guinness Book of Records. The bull weighs more than a ton.

During the day he eats up to 45 kg of hay, 7 kg of cereal and drinks about 380 liters of water.

In fact, these are not very surprising indicators.

For example, history calls the main “fat man” of the last century a bull of the Chianina-Donetto porcelain breed from Switzerland. He was bred in Italy, on a farm near Sienna in the middle of the 20th century. The bull, considered the largest in the world, at the age of 8 years weighed 1 ton 780 kg with a height at the withers of 1 m 85 cm.

One might say the prophetic nickname “Field Marshal” was given to his pet by Arthur Duckett from England when he bought him at a breeding market. Working with animals for more than 40 years, the man was able to discern a future giant in the baby. Now the owner grazes a bull in his fields, which is considered the largest in the world and weighs more than 1.7 tons. At the time of the last measurements taken in 2008, Field Marshal’s height was almost 1.9 m.

At the same time, the bull was gaining weight intensively. It is difficult to imagine how large its size surprises those around us today.

The giant is a Charolais breed, milky in color, with beautiful furry ears. Huge curved horns give the animal a stern appearance, but without any special irritating factors it does not show aggression.

The photo of the world's largest inseminating bull of the Podolsk breed is striking. This huge creature is called Repp, lives at a breeding center near Cherkassy in Ukraine. Weight is more than 1.5 tons. It grew to its impressive size naturally, thanks to free housing and proper nutrition. Mainly eats hay, likes soy, a little sugar.

Every year, about 50 thousand healthy, viable calves are obtained from him using artificial insemination of cows. Farmers are afraid to bring cows for a personal meeting with the curly-haired handsome man because of his impressive size and unpredictable behavior. The Ox does not tolerate disrespect and is slightly touchy towards people.

Gaur is a breed of large wild bulls listed in the Red Book. The second name is Indian Bison. The usual color is dark brown. The maximum weight of bulls is 1.5 tons. It lives in Vietnam, China and some other countries of South and Southeast Asia. The only natural enemies are the tiger and the crocodile. Populations are declining due to human impact on nature and poaching.

In 1999, a small White Fresian bull, 6 days old, was found at an “animal shelter” in Fern (Britain). No one imagined then that this baby would grow up and be recorded by Guinness in the annals of history as the largest bull in the world! When the record was recorded, the bull weighed 1 ton 300 kg and was about 2 meters tall.

Today Chile is almost 16 years old, but he is still in shape. Moreover, the bull still gains almost 100 kg in weight every year. At the same time, he does not have a special appetite. The bull has a calm, balanced character, but so that he would not accidentally injure numerous people who wanted to look at him, the horns were still cut off. Outwardly it does not look intimidating, but rather looks like a very large cow.
