MOUNTAIN HOME, ARK – A steer named Lurch is going in the record books for having the world’s biggest set of horns: They’re more than 3 feet around!
Lurch’s horns are a whopping 37.5 inches in circumference, which shatters the existing record of 31 inches. Those numbers have earned him a spot in the next Guinness of Records, says human pal Janice Wolf.
He’s made worldwide headlines with his record-setting horns, and she hopes the attention will pay off in the much-needed funds for her animal-rescue organization. She’s the founder and sole operator of the Rocky Ridge Animal Refuge, which saves sick and abandoned animals and tries to find homes for them.
Lurch was actually a late bloomer, says Wolf. His horns started growing much later than normal.
“his horns grew very slowly,” she recalls.
“I used to worry that he wouldn’t have any!”
