This is Bovine Beauty's Holstein, steer calf --- Fuzz.
And this is Bovine Beauty with Fuzz at an intermediate date.
As you can see in this more recent photo, at 2.5 years Fuzz has become a substantial riding steer. He is now taller than his trainer.
Bovine Beauty and her steer Fuzz are good at traffic control --- they stop it!
According to Oxen: A Teamster's Guide, Holstein steers will average 2,500 pounds (1,135 kg.) mature weight. They grow rapidly and are a docile breed.
