The 11-year-old cow is named Swallow. Her owner, Caroline Ryder, said the
cow would spend Thursday either grazing with her herd or listening to BBC radio in her cowshed.
Swallow is a Dexter cow, a breed known for its diminutive stature, but
she is small even by Dexter standards.
She already has nine regular-sized calves and is pregnant with her 10th. Guinness said her youngest calf has already grown larger than she is.
Guinness World Records 2011 was published Thursday in the U.K.

of northern England measures roughly 33 inches (84 centimeters) from
hind to foot.
