World’s biggest bovine? Creswell cow gunning for Guinness record

CRESWELL – Romeo oh Romeo, how tall art thou Romeo?
Romeo is a 6-year-old Holstein cow who lives at Welcome Home Animal Sanctuary – a non-profit established in 2016 which cares for 79 abused, neglected, abandoned, injured, and special needs farm animals – in Creswell, and he might be the tallest cow in the world.
“For years, my husband’s been telling me, ‘He is such a tall cow. He’s probably the tallest cow in the world.’ I was just like, ‘He’s a Holstein, so he’s tall,” said Misty Moore, who is the founder and operator of Welcome Home. “I just knew Holsteins were tall, but then we saw that the world record was like 6-1, and we were like, ‘Well, we know he’s taller than that.’ So we had our vet come out and measure him, and that’s when we found out he’s 6-3 3/8.”
