Standing at 6ft 4in tall up to her shoulders, it’s safe to say this record-breaking cow is moo-ving on up.
Blosom, the 13-year-old Holstein Friesian bovine, has just entered the Guinness Record books as the world’s tallest cow.
Sometimes during the summertime I’ll borrow from the neighbors a couple of calves,” said Patty Hanson, Blosom’s owner.
Clearly, no cow is an island, even if she is a world record holder.
“Most Holsteins are about eight inches shorter than her. She measures in at six foot four inches at her shoulder,” Hanson said.
Hanson said the veterinarian had to stand on a ladder to measure Blssom the cow for the Guinness Book of World Records.
“Actually, if you move the measure stick back along her back she goes up even higher,” Hanson said.
Hanson says Blossom serves as greeter at her farm in Memory Lane Crafting Retreat house just outside Orangeville, Illinois.
Blosom will be included in the 2016 edition of the “Guinness Book of World Records.”
