Longhorn sets new record with stunning 11-foot-long horns

Meet Poncho Via - the newest holder of a Guinness World Record with a sensational set of 10 foot-7.4 inches horns from tip to tip.

The 7-year-old steer makes his home in Goodwater, Alabama and has been living with his family, the Pope’s, since he was six-months old.

The family said they knew Poncho was something special when his horns began to grow out to the sides inside of curving up, like other longhorns’ do.

Poncho is very popular around town too, with his ‘dad’ saying of him, "All my neighbors (around) here, any time they have company, they come over to see the longhorn. He's just a big, gentle character. Everyone brings (food) with them -- he likes apples, carrots and marshmallows."

His humongous horns aren’t all glitz and show, though.

They’ve gotten him into trouble a time or two.

George Jones, a family member who helps out with Poncho on the ranch, tells the story, “He pulled a water bottle right out my pocket with his tongue. He's there playing with the bottle and I reached and scratched him for a bit."

The caretaker said he was knocked into a pond once, when the longhorn became spooked by something.

"That went on for a little while and I guess a horsefly got on him or something (because), all of a sudden, he turned that head and I went airborne into the pond. He just knocked me completely off my feet into the water," Jones said.

The former record holder, a Texas longhorn named Sato, had a horn spread of 10 feet, 6.3 inches, when measured in September, according to Guinness World Records.

As the tweet below mentions, Poncho's horns measures more than twice the width of a concert grand piano.
