UK's tallest bovine soars to 6ft 6in

Sam

That's 

..a lot of quarter pounders.

Why are the veggies looking at me like that?

Simon Riley

World Record? 

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

Mark Otway

Holy Cow! 

Coat

Mine's the leather one, XXXL.

Big Al

Well obviously... 

Joke

... 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...

Marc Lawrence

Old 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.

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...

cud these puns get any worse? udderly terrible!

Hmmmm..

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

Good breeding 

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

Steve

What kind of record is that. 

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.

Julian

Yes, I know it's a bull but.. 

Coat

Looks like they're trying to milk the publicity for all its worth....

Simon Neill

@UK record 

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

Matt Finish

The next record... 

Boffin

...surely, it must follow, the UK record for the pat with the widest splat?

Mark Jan

Methane? 

Paris Hilton

Watch out for Greenpeace and the other loony global warming fanatics wanting to slaughter the beast usng its no doubt excesive methane production as an excuse!

Paris, because even she knows it's bollocks.

So nothing to do with all the steroids they pump into the cattle these days.. oops! ...sorry wrong side of the pond!

Deserve It 

IT Angle

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>

Government Job?

I hear the NuLab spin doctors will be offering him a job - they have a need for a large amount of bullshit.

Mine's the teflon one.

Geoff Mackenzie

Mine's the red one.

Um, I think you may be taking this a smidge seriously, Gav.

Cow on a lead 

Happy

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...

Alan.

Chris Phillips

Chilli?? Why the name??? 

Presumably because he's a Friesian... Freezing... chilly.... get it....??

If you check out the definition of Bullock, you'll see that he (it?) will not be doing a lot of that

That was close - one apostrophe away from a libel suit.

Crap Beef 

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....
