A Texas longhorn named Bucklehead broke the world record for the longest horn span at a showcase this month, according to a report. The 6-year-old longhorn from Rocksprings, Texas, measured 11 feet, 1.8 inches from tip to tip of his horns at the Horn Showcase in Oklahoma on Oct. 4-5, unofficially breaking the Guinness World Record. The previous record was 10 feet, 7.4 inches set by an Alabama longhorn named Poncho Via, according to the San Angelo Standard-Times. Marceala Gonzalez, 14, Bucklehead’s owner, won the longhorn five and a half years ago at a drawing where five breeders were donating steers. She got to pick whichever one she wanted and chose baby Bucklehead.
