A Holstein steer named Romeo from Oregon has been officially named the tallest in the world, standing at 6 feet and 4.5 inches tall. He was rescued by Misty Moore, founder of the Welcome Home Animal Sanctuary in Creswell, Oregon when he was just 10 days old from a veal crate at a dairy farm.
Romeo has become a beloved resident at the sanctuary and is known for his gentle and loving nature. Moore decided to seek the Guinness World Records title for Romeo after discovering that the previous record-holder, a steer named Tommy from Massachusetts, was slightly shorter at 6 feet and 1 inch tall. Romeo serves as a symbol of resilience and hope, reminding people of the importance of compassion towards animals.
Moore describes the bond between humans and animals as profound, built on trust, love, and solidarity. She believes that every act of kindness has the power to change the world and Romeo embodies this sentiment with his playful demeanor and affectionate nature. He is truly a testament to the transformative power of love and kindness.
