Lurch Sets World Record
A Watusi steer with giant horns recently earned a spot in the Guiness Book Of World Records when his horns reached a diameter of 37 1/2 in. FARM SHOW first featured Lurch three years ago when his horns were a measly 35 in. dia. and 61 in. long from tip to tip.
  Lurch is owned by Janis Wolf of Gassville, Ark. Watusi cattle, which originated in Africa, are known for their big horns but Lurch is in a class by himself. Wolf says Lurch is actually 1/8 Longhorn, which might account for his peculiar genetics. He's now 7 years old but his horns continue to grow. In fact, Wolf recently measured them at 38 in., a new record.
  Lurch has his own website at www.rockyridgerefuge.com and Wolf welcomes visitors to meet Lurch. Contact: Janis Wolf, 425 County Rd. 1123, Gassville, Ark. 72635 (ph 870 430-5783).
