The aurochs, an extinct ancestor of modern cattle, typically weighed between 1,000 to 1,500 pounds (450 to 680 kilograms). Males were generally larger, averaging around 1,500 pounds, while females were smaller, usually around 1,000 pounds. Their size and weight contributed to their status as formidable herbivores in prehistoric ecosystems.

When did the aurochs go extinct?
65.5 million years ago, an asteroid with a diameter of 6 miles crashed into what is now the Yucatan Peninsula, creating the Chixculub crater. It threw so much dust into the atmosphere, that sunlight was blocked for months. Plants died without sunlight, and the herbivorous dinosaurs died without plants to eat. The carnivores soon died out, too, because their prey was gone. There is evidence, too, that the Chixculub impact preceded the dinosaur extinction by hundreds of thousands of years, until another, possibly larger asteroid struck and eliminated the non avian dinosaurs once and for all. Even without the asteroids, dinosaurs were already dealing with the negative affects of climate change. Since birds are dinosaurs by definition and since they survive to present day, you could also say that dinosaurs NEVER went extinct.
