Gillette Emperor Smurf has produced 216,893 kilograms (or 478,167 pounds) of milk over her lifetime, according to recent reports.

“She is the best producer of all the cows in the world,” Ontario owner Louis Patenaude said.

And she’s not done yet. Gillette E. Smurf, as she is officially known, is awaiting the birth of her 11th calf next month.

The previous record was set in 2006 by a Michigan cow, Tacoma Mark My-Word, that was credited with 471,900 pounds of milk.

In 2011, Gillette E. Smurf was recognized for becoming the first Canadian cow to produce more than 200,000 kilograms of milk and now it appears she has gone on to break the world record.
