Detailed explanation-1: -“But the most likely reason is due to some sort of mutation or something that occurred in the growth hormone or the growth-hormone receptors, ” Du suggests. Others have speculated that Knickers suffers from a pituitary disorder called acromegaly, the disease that causes gigantism in humans and afflicted Andre the Giant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bulls are usually larger and more muscular than steers. This can be attributed to the fact that steers are castrated at a young age, which means they physically mature differently to bulls, which have not been castrated. Bulls are therefore able to reproduce, while a steer cannot.
Detailed explanation-3: -In fact, Knickers’ extreme proportions may have been something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. After a few years of growth, the animal had become too large to put through a processing facility, according to his owner, Geoff Pearson.
Detailed explanation-4: -A normal market Holstein steer (a neutered male) weighs around 1, 200 lbs. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world’s record for the largest bovine is 5, 000 lbs., held by a Holstein-Durham cross-breed, Mount Katandin, owned by A.S. Rand of Maine.
