..a lot of quarter pounders.

Why are the veggies looking at me like that?

World Record? 

Posted Tuesday 13th May 2008 09:05 GMT

Surely the world record for the UK's tallest bovine would be the UK record.

Holy Cow!

Perhaps he has some old genes in him. The Aurochs was a breed of cattle often hunted in prehistory which was much larger than our current breeds...

Ill get my red coat and run for it.

Well obviously...

... this story contains a serious load of old bull!

I wonder if the animals were abandoned because they were the result of horrific genetic manipulation, and experimentation into Things Man Was Never Meant To Know? So hard to tell, these days...

That is proof that to stop meateaters VEGANs around the world are genetically engineering cattle to grow extra large and start eating humans.

Swedish cow terror!

"Chilli does not have a special diet and eats grass, with the occasional swede as a treat."

Better keep Sven away from him...

A two metre high Chilli beef. I'll have fries with that, please.

What kind of record is that. 

Posted Tuesday 13th May 2008 09:49 GMT

Surely it has to be a 'world' record to get in the guiness book of 'world' records.

Otherwise it's not much of record is it.

I reckon that I can break the world record for the most number of press-ups done by anyone in Steves family. Define your group small enough and you can hold any record you like.

Good breeding 

Posted Tuesday 13th May 2008 09:49 GMT

This pair need breeding off. Such a shame Friesians are lousy beef cattle. Maybe crossed with a decent meat breed...

Yes, I know it's a bull but..

Perhaps we KNOW it is the tallest in the UK, but the world record isn't known?

Deserve It

What does a cow have to do to "deserve" an entry in the Guinness Book of Records?? Is this the same kind of "deserve" you hear so much about on X-Factor?

Cue the sad music;

"Chilli was abandoned as a calf, so devoted his life to eating up his grass every day. He wants to win this word in memory of the mother he hasn't seen in 8 years, where-ever she may be." <Insert shot of sad bovine eye shedding tear, Display vote telephone number>

Cow on a lead

The Times' picture has the cow with a harness around it's nose, with the keeper holding the lead.

Possibly a bit pointless? If that cow decided it was going, I doubt she could do much about it...

Chilli?? Why the name???

As said above, Fresians are not great beef cows, traditionally Dairy, he needs to breed with a good Hereford or something to get some nice Beef, as he is... he'll be sponsored by McDonalds or Cravendale before we know and they'll be milking him all they can....
