The Texas longhorn steer, named Poncho Via, had its horn spread measured by Guinness at a total 10 feet, 7.4 inches -- wider than the Statue of Liberty's face or two grad pianos pushed together. Advertisement Guinness said Poncho captured the records for largest horn spread on a living steer and largest horn spread on a steer ever. His spread beat the previous record by just over an inch, Guinness said. The Pope family, who have raised Poncho on their property in Goodwater since he was 6 months old, said they first started to suspect his horns could end up as world records when he was 4-year-old and they noticed the horns were growing straight out with very little curve. The family said Poncho's horns might look dangerous, but he is a "big pet" who enjoys getting treats from the public.
