Template:Rocko's Modern Life character Heffer Wolfe is a fictional character on the cartoon Rocko's Modern Life and the comic book series of the same name.
Best friend of Rocko, Heffer has a running gag of facts about steers and cows. While steers and cows have four stomachs, it is said that Heffer has about nine because of eating a lot.
Strangely, Heffer was raised by wolves in Richhill, as seen by his family name, who originally were going to eat him. They fattened him up before deciding to raise him, not letting him know that he was adopted until Rocko accidentally spilled the beans when he was invited over for dinner. The mark which Heffer believed to be a "birthmark" on his buttocks is actually the plotting lines showing where the wolves were going to divide him up.
Besides eating a lot, Heffer being called a cow is another running gag. Most characters would call him a "cow", then either his father or himself would correct them by calling Heffer a steer. Heffer's name is taken from the word "heifer".
Heffer has held several jobs: tree farmer, greenskeeper at a golf course, mail carrier, security guard, waiter at a café, and cashier.
He can drive, but unlike Rocko he does not wear a seatbelt.
Despite his size, he can be very nimble at times, most notably when he is roller-skating. At the local skating rink, he is very well known, and even performs his own skating routine at the request of the patrons (Wallaby on Wheels).
It is revealed in an episode that Heffer's biological father is still alive with a girl cow named Joyce, and that his mother has been turned into a car seat.
