RIP Herman the Cow

He was one big cow:

Well, Herman passed away.  From the LVRJ:
Amargosa Valley just got a little lonelier. One of its most celebrated residents has moved on to greener pastures.
Herman, the towering Holstein steer that helped draw tourists to the remote Longstreet Inn and Casino at the southwestern edge of Nye County, died July 25. He was roughly 8 years old.
Jim Marsh, Herman’s owner, decided to put down the 3,000-pound steer after Herman stopped eating and shed hundreds of pounds. A veterinarian diagnosed the animal with cancer of the eye.
The day before he was put down, Herman “stuck his nose up against the fence and we said a sad goodbye,” said Marsh, an animal lover and Las Vegas car dealer known for appearing in commercials with his daughter and grandson.
Herman spent his days munching hay, soaking up the sun and greeting tourists outside the Longstreet on their way to and from Death Valley. People were impressed by his massive size. At last measure, Herman stood 6 feet, 4 inches from hoof to withers.
Marsh believed Herman could be the tallest steer in the world. He thought about calling Guinness World Records, but never got around to it. Now he’ll never know.
Herman’s profile skyrocketed last year after he was profiled by the Review-Journal.
“It went viral,” Marsh said. “We got calls from across the country.”  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-and-west/amargosa-valleys-biggest-celebrity-dies-and-barnyard-mourns
It doesn't say if he will be stuffed, be a steak or buried.
