    A cow whose tiny stature saved her from the abattoir has entered the record books as the world's smallest.
    Swallow, a Dexter cow from Cheshire, stands 33.5in (0.8m) tall from hind to foot - shorter than most sheep.
    The 11-year-old, who is currently pregnant, has produced nine calves and is described by owner Caroline Ryder as the "nanny of the herd".
    Swallow secured a slot with the tallest dog, longest snake and oldest gorilla in the 2011 Guinness World Records.
    The tiny cow was born in Newbury, Berkshire in 1999 and bought by the Ryder family at a rare breed auction in 2006.

    Now you know where the half pints come from! ;)

    And to think, we could be tucking into a nice beef curry now if they had just killed it.

    Surely "Half-pint cow" would have been a better thread title?

    Tiny cows are not superior to taller cows.

    All cows are supposed to be equally slaughtered no matter what creed or specie or cow height they are :mad:

    I think it's disgraceful that the abattroir had a beef with this cow cos of it's height/size
