The World's Smallest Cow


A cow whose tiny stature saved her from the abattoir has entered the record books as the world's smallest. Swallow, a Dexter cow from Cheshire, stands 33.5in (0.8m) tall from hind to foot - shorter than most sheep.

The 11-year-old, who is currently pregnant, has produced nine calves and is described by owner Caroline Ryder as the 'nanny of the herd.' Swallow secured a slot in the 2011 Guinness World Records.
