At almost six foot five inches tall, Dozer, the gentle giant steer is becaming a big attraction – Nov 28, 2018

He stands at almost six-foot-five and is just six years old but Dozer the steer is also a part of the family at the Kismet Creek Farm.

“I had never seen a steer this big in my life,” Kismet Creek Farm owner, Karl Schoenrock said.

Dozer started life on a beef farm, but got so big so fast, his owner decided he needed to be somewhere where he could enjoy the rest of his life.

“I knew where he was, wasn’t where he was meant to stay. I knew a sanctuary would be ideal and he would be able to live out his days happily,” Dozer’s owner, Rebecca Hansuchuk said.
