Garden City, Kansas - World's Largest Hairball

We haven't been there in years, but they used to have a basketball sized hairball that came from a slaughtered cow in a little museum in Garden City. [annette landwehr, 04/29/2003]

[RA: Found in a the stomach of a cow that was slaughtered at a nearby meat-packing plant. It weighed 55 pounds at the time -- it was wet then, but it's drier and lighter now -- and is 38 inches around. In competition for the World's Largest title with other reported big hairballs in Webster, South Dakota and East Lansing, Michigan.]
