CLALLAM COUNTY – The world’s biggest steer has moved to Clallam County, and his handlers want you to know about him and their non-profit horse rescue organization.
Lindsey Crouse has recently relocated to Sequim from Ramona, California. Her organization, Serenity Acres Horse Rescue, has been adopting injured and retired sports horses for 15 years. She’s renting a home on River Road and has found a temporary home for her horses while she looks for some acreage of her own to purchase.
In the meantime, the organization’s mascot, a Holstein steer named Cowboy, has found a temporary home on a farm west of Port Angeles. Cowboy stands six feet four-and-a-half inches tall at the withers, or more than 18 hands, and weighs 3000 pounds, which Crouse says was confirmed by NBC News. She believes he’s the world’s biggest, and she doesn’t think he’s finished growing yet.
Crouse says she’s glad Cowboy will now be grazing instead of living on hay, because big boy can put the food away.
Cowboy himself is a rescue after Crouse learned his previous owner had died and he wasn’t being cared for. It took a group of people several hours to coax him into a trailer.
