A calf who was saved from going to auction by a caring cattle owner surprised his family when he grew taller than all of them and didn’t stop. Today, he’s a world record holder.
Purebred Brown Swiss steer Tommy has lived with his family in Cheshire, Massachusetts, since he was 1 day old when his owner, Fred Balawende, purchased him as a calf from a large dairy farm in 2010. Now 13 years old, Tommy measures over 1.87 meters (6 feet 1 inch) tall making him the tallest living steer (castrated bull) on record.
