The largest horn circumference on a steer measured 95.25 cm (37.5 in) on 6 May 2003 and belong to Lurch, an African watusi steer owned by Janice Wolf (USA) of Gassville, Arkansas, USA.

Sadly, Lurch died at 3 p.m. on 22 May 2010 of a cancer at the base of one of the horns. The body has has been released to a local taxidermist, who will produce a full-sized taxidermy of the steer.

Two vets measured three times to confirm the incredible circumference. Although they are not the longest horns on record, Lurch’s horn span is approximately 2.1 m (7 ft).

Bulls and steers are judged separately at cattle shows, hence this distinction from Woodie.
