He doesn't eat that much and his feet and head are in proportion - he is just very large."He is a very friendly and gentle cow so we hopes he manages to break the record - he deserves it."At present, the tallest bovine in the world is 6ft 8ins Fiorino, who lives in Italy.A spokeswoman for the Guinness Book Of Records said: "I can confirm that an application has been received for Chilli which is currently under research."Six months ago another bullock vying for a record breaking spot was The Field Marshal who weighed in at 3,000lb.At the time he was on course to over take the current British record-holder, his former stablemate The Colonel, who stood 6ft 5in tall and weighed 3,500lb. He died in 2005.</blockquote>
