A six year old Texas longhorn named Bucklehead unofficially broke the world record for longest horn span earlier this month. His horns measured 11 feet 1.8 inches tip to tip breaking the previous record of 10 feet 7.4 inches. After viewing photos of this animal I tried to find out if having horns that long is painful since they look both heavy and cumbersome,but I didn't find anything about that other than apparently there is a song with those lyrics. I did find out that steer horns grow longer than either bulls or cows as their testosterone level is the perfect level for growing horns,so I did manage to learn something new today.
