Posh Spice breaks record at auction, it is not what you think

A story that is catching some national attention is a cow turned superstar.

A stylish and shapely bovine, Posh Spice, ‘mooed’ down the competition for a world record.

If you are not familiar with the name, it comes from the famous British girl band group, the Spice Girls.

She sold at an auction in Carlisle in the United Kingdom for almost $360,000 U.S. dollars. Her owner, Christine Williams, knew the one year old cow had the X factor to win because of her larger loin depth, reduced fat cover, and greater meat tenderness.
