Giant Fresian Steer Stands 6 1/2 Ft. Tall LIVESTOCK Beef 32-4-44
No one had any idea how big Chilli, a Fresian calf, would grow when he was left at an animal sanctuary in the United Kingdom in 1999. Now, at nine years old and 2,500 lbs., the 6 1/2-ft. tall Chilli is thought to be one of the tallest bovines in the world.

Chilli has put the sanctuary in the spotlight with his television appearances and through the internet.
