Porterhouse or Sirloin

This guy is a bit larger than I'd normally store in my "critter" folder which to me are the small animals that get caught with my camera as they traverse the back yard, but since I don't have (or yet need) a Large Critter folder I convinced him that in this folder he'd be king. Birds, in flight or not, go into separate species folders.
In addition to cropping this has had some serious work with the Clone and Spot cleaning tool to remove parts of the fence, some goats also in the enclosure, and extraneous "stuff".
Comments welcome

Wow, that's some serious headgear. I don't think I would mess with him.

Awesome looking critter. You did a great job of cleaning up the scene, I would never have guessed.

Karin, Personally I prefer sirloin, but I don't know how these guys compare to the typical beef cow in tenderness.
Thanks for looking.

BassmanBruce,
Thanks for looking. You will notice that I am on the other side of the wire from him, not that I think that light and old wire fence would have slowed him down much if he was determined to go though it; there was also a pretty deep drainage ditch on 'my' side of the fence.
I'm only in that area about once a month; he's often in another pasture still visible from the road, but too far away for a decent shot. I've been trying to get this picture for six months or so and finally everything came together; it was a nice day, he was along the road side, and I had the camera.

Angela and Cwilson,
Thanks for looking. In the flesh and on the hoof he is definitively impressive and considerably more imposing than he looks in the picture. I'd been around dairy cows and a bull or two--you should never trust the latter--when I was in my late twenty's and thirty's (a friend owned a dairy farm), but they weren't nearly so big and imposing as this guy. When he turned his head and gave me the eye, it was almost as if he were saying "don't mess with me".

We weren't, but ......... He may have been; I've never seen any cows at this farm only goats, pigs, and sheep.

Angela, Maybe, but I wouldn't want to put him to the test! If you were here, I wouldn't let you do it either
. Whether Gloria Steinham wants to admit it or not, there is a finite and sensible limit to equality. (I hope I didn't just stir up a storm.)
