Tommy who lives with his owner Fred Balawender in Cheshire Massachusetts had the officials of the Guiness World Record holder as the tallest steer in history with a record of being six feet and one inch tall. Tommy who is 13 years old has been living with his owner since the steer was one day old. Tommy is a purebred Brown Steer that is close friends with his owner Fred who intends to keep his prize steer for the duration of his life. Since Fred is a fan of former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, he named his pet after his favorite football player. Link is upi.com/3101694794857 via @upi

Where Tommy lives in the farm is the best place for him to be.

That is certainly a very tall steer. He would tower over most cattle.

I guess that steer must be peaceful at such a large size, but I would steer myself away from it, rather than get too close to it myself, I think. I prefer only small pets.

@Deepizzaguy I have heard of some people who have a pet pig, and share their bed with it at night too. That is not for me either.

@innertalks No way would I share a bed with a pig.

I prefer cats or medium size dogs as pets and not steers or cows.
