Love the cow. OKsewGlad. It looks so real and shows the cow and calf expressions so well. I was trying to remember the history of the butter cow at Iowa State Fair; I think a gentleman started it years ago, and then after his passing has named an another artist twice to follow the tradition.

I have an original Daisy Butter Churn (glass) and a wooden butter press to mold the butter from my childhood days of churning real butter. Love visiting the Heritage Farm in Des Monies, Iowa, and eating at their restaurant place there, family style.

Love the farm stories; and I am learning things, too.
