A British sheep farmer believes one of his lambs is so big he could be a Guinness World Record.
Tyson (L) next to an average sized lamb.
Tyson the lamb was born Sunday in the village of Brancepeth, Caters News Agency reports. At five days old, Tyson weighed nearly 28 pounds.
But it seems Tyson’s exceptional size won’t save him from the dinner table.
“If he was a pure breed we’d have kept him for tupping (breeding) but because he’s a cross eventually he’ll make some butcher very happy when he’s sold,” Fell said. “There’s plenty of meat on him for chops.”
