AFTER almost 12 months away from the limelight, Knickers the giant steer is back.

The 194cm, 1.4 tonne steer made headlines when pictures of him on his Myalup farm in Western Australia went viral last November.

Despite missing out on the Guinness World Record title for the world’s largest steer, Knickers will be making a celebrity appearance at the Brunswick Agriculture Show in WA on Saturday.

It will cost $2 to get up close and personal with Knickers, with all money raised going to the Blue Tree Project, which raises awareness for mental health.

The internet has also been going crazy for Knickers’ unlikely friendship with a much smaller calf called Lucky.

Lucky is no stranger to the spotlight, making headlines for allegedly being stolen by a vegan activist, and is now considered evidence for the police.
