Giant cow set for the record books

FERNE Animal Sanctuary in Chard is set for the record books after raising a giant cow.

Chilli the bullock stands at a massive 6ft 6ins tall and weighs well over a ton.

The black and white Friesian, who dwarfs most horses, is the same height as a small elephant and was dumped at the sanctuary at just six-days-old in 1999.

Nine years on, Chilli has gone from strength to strength and staff believe the giant will smash a record for Britain's tallest ever cow.
