Blosom, the cow that was crowned the tallest cow ever by Guinness World Records, has died at the age of 13.  With her huge frame, he stood at an udderly massive 6ft 4in tall, and has dwarfed every other cow that is placed beside her. 

 

According to reports, she died in May following a leg injury. She lived on a farm in Orangeville, Illinois, with her owner Patty Hanson. 

 

Paying tribute to her prized cow, Patty said: "The funny thing about Blosom was how unaffected she was by all the attention that seemed to surround her.

 

"As long as she had her oats, and daily chin rubs and ear scratches, life was good.”

 

Guinness World Records Editor-in Chief, Craig Glenday, said: “We hold our tallest animals at Guinness World Records in an extremely high regard due to their uniqueness and rarity in finding.

 

"We were devastated when we heard the news of Blosom’s death as she was such a friendly and gorgeous animal and her owner equally as wonderful and took such great care of her.

 

"She is definitely one of the standout highlights in our upcoming book and we hope the world enjoys seeing the pictures of her."
