Jasmine Entz has the tallest Holstein in the world at her farm near Vulcan, Alta.
Beef is eight yeara old, is still growing and was recently declared by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the tallest living steer.
Entz been looking for an animal to ride and with his intelligence and gentle demeanour, this little black-headed fellow seemed like a perfect fit, she said.
He stayed at the dairy until he was weaned, then she brought him home to her hobby farm, to join her herd of 50 miniature goats.
Beef is actually now 6-foot-6 at the shoulder, having grown an inch since he set the record. At eight years old, he’s also still growing and Entz doesn’t know when he’ll stop.
