I believe that Knickers is not inspiring to humans, but to the other cows. The cows look up to him and treat him good and do not leave him out of anything. The video shows that all the cows are around him because he is a part of them. This reminds me of Andre the Giant. He was huge and is still accepted.

I don’t know about all of this talk about him being relatable and familiar, it's just a really big steer. Anything that is out of the norm will stand out of the crowd and get a little recognition for it. He doesn’t remind me of anyone. If he did that would be an insult to anyone I would name. There isn’t very much that's inspiring about them, they aren’t at a disadvantage or anything. The steer had gotten fame just like anything else abnormal on the internet does.

I did not recognize the " Standout Steer" at all and I have never seen or heard about it before. Im not around farm animals at all if you you just sent me a picture of the cow a lone i probably would not have noticed anything strange or different about it. Since there was a video of the cow with other normal sized cows I could totally tell that there was a difference, the cow seemed twice as big (height/weight) than all of the other cows. The cow kind of reminds me of being at a professional basketball game and other smaller players standing next to some of the tallest players on the court.

I have never seen or heard of this "Standout Steer," but this reminds me of my dad his name is Jeff. My dad is 6'5 and like 250-300 pounds, he is a pretty big guy! So that is who this big cow reminds me of. Also this cow is the opposite of me because I am pretty small, I am about 5'3 and 100 pounds so yeah.

This cow does not relate to me at all because I am very short and it is very big. I do think it is really cool that it is different and it is actually kind of cute. It reminds me a lot of my older brother because he is very tall compared to most of family so he tends to stand out. I think people really like him because he's different and he still is cute and likes hang out with the other cows even though they look different than them.

I think Knicker the standout steer is a very inspirational story. He is way too big to be bought by farmers so he gets to enjoy his whole life without being slaughtered. I definitely agree he is an inspiration to other cows. I think the giant steer is awesome. I have never seen anything like it. He reminds me of Andre the Giant because he is so big. He has drawn the attention of the world because he is so big.

The standout steer reminds me of a few people in my school. They are really tall and I couldn't imagine what they have to go through to buy pants. I've never seen the standout steer but its really cool.

Holy cow! Thats a big cow, folks we have a record winning sized cow today in our competition. Honestly the giant people walking in the hallways at school and all they can see is the tops of the other students heads can relate to this cow.

The giant cow reminds me of the tallest students here at Hanover Horton. It reminds me the most of a student named Wyatt who is probably the tallest person in school. I feel like all the other cows standing next to the one that stands out completely. I’d probably be terrified standing next to the “Standout Steer.”

I have never seen the standout steer. I would not have even noticed that the cow was super tall if it wasn't pointed out to me. I just figured it was a cow in the wrong field.

Just like real life, being the “tall kid” that stood out is what this steer is experiencing. Im sure theres plenty of cows/ calves that are scared of this 6’4 beast. Being this size you feel out of place or very powerful which I’m sure is how the steer is feeling.

I don't recognize this "standout steer." I have never seen it before. But this cow reminds me of my brother. He's not quite as big as this cow, but he is big. My reaction to this cow was "wow". I think people like him because even though he is different, he is still included in the crowd of other cows. I think this lets people know they can do the same.
Chloe Comet (Hanover, MI)
The standout steer is like the opposite of me. He is way taller than every one while I am way shorter than most. The dramatic height difference between him and those around him is what makes him relatable to me.He should probably be a basketball player or maybe even volleyball. I also think he is very cute and would love to have him as a pet. I'd name him Biggie.

This giant steer remind me of a kid from my old school named Lee and he stood out because of how much taller he was then everyone else, it was kinda funny when he was looking down at every teacher. If I ever where to meet this steer I would probably be scared out of my mind but I would be amazed.
