10 feet, 7.4 inches long horns break Guinness World record
The family said Ponchos horns might look dangerous, but he is a "big pet" who enjoys getting treats from the public.
(Web Desk) – Poncho Via, Alabama longhorn steer, has 10 feet and 7.4 inches wide horns to carve his name in Guinness World record.
According to Upi, a longhorn steer in Alabama with a horn span wider than the Statue of Liberty‘s face now has a Guinness World Record for the longest horns.
The Texas longhorn steer, named Poncho Via, had its horn spread measured by Guinness at a total 10 feet, 7.4 inches -- wider than the Statue of Liberty’s face or two grad pianos pushed together.
Guinness said Poncho captured the records for largest horn spread on a living steer and largest horn spread on a steer ever. His spread beat the previous record by just over an inch, Guinness said.
The Pope family, who have raised Poncho on their property in Goodwater since he was 6 months old, said they first started to suspect his horns could end up as world records when he was 4-year-old and they noticed the horns were growing straight out with very little curve.
The family said Poncho’s horns might look dangerous, but he is a "big pet" who enjoys getting treats from the public.
