 |
| The Southwest Dairy Museum features two giant cows. The black and white Holstein named "Buttercup" was installed in front of the museum in 1995. The brown and white Jersey named "Creampuff" was installed here in 1997. These photos are from 2011. |
| Turkey Hill Cow Paradise, PA |
Turkey Hill Cow Ocean City, MD |

 |
 |
 |
 |
| The Turkey Hill Cow is a mobile exhibit that has been traveling around PA and beyond since 1967. She was parked in front of Sweets for Sweeties when I saw her in 2006. In 2009, I spotted her at the Convention and Visitors Center in Ocean City. I think this was the same statue as the one I saw in PA. Turkey Hill now has three traveling cows but it sounds like the other two are red and white. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. |

Freddy Hill Farms opened as a dairy store in 1972. A working dairy farm, Freddy's now features homemade ice cream, 2 miniature golf courses, batting cages, a driving range, and this giant cow on the roof. For more, see their website. Moo-La, a life-sized fiberglass cow, was installed downtown on a pole in 1972. Signs below her make the claim that Erath County is the #1 Dairy County in TX with $223 million in milk sales annually.

This Cow statue in Libertyville is located at Lambs Farm. It appears to be from a different mold from those statues shown above. Otherwise, the front legs have been modified. The giant cows above, like the one in Ypsilanti, all have their left legs forward.
This Cow statue in Schenectady is installed on the roof of F. Cappiello Dairy Products which has been producing Italian cheeses since 1921. For more, see their website. This Cow statue in Merrill is located on a roof at the Van der Geest Dairy Farm. There is a light on the cow's nose which is lit red for the Christmas holiday season. |

| The Taqueria Mirandas building was originally part of a dairy store chain. The place is known locally as "The Cow Store". When the first photo was taken in 2010, the cow statue was still wearing the remains of her Santa costume. She is dressed up for the Christmas holidays each year. [second photo thanks Robby Delius] |

| Giant Cow Cohron's Manufactured Homes Indianapolis, IN |

Giant Cow El Rancho Meat & Produce Avondale, PA |

The Cohron's Cow has been here since at least 2000. There were two calf statues for awhile but they are now gone. Cohron's Manufactured Homes has been here since 1955. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
The INDOT Cow stands at the Indiana Department of Transportation Materials and Tests Division site. Just down the road is Kroger's Dairy so I assume the cow must have belonged to them at one point. The El Rancho Meat & Produce cow has been painted the colors of the Mexican flag. Their restaurant occupies the previous Avon Grove Diner, a Mountain View from 1952, which is now covered with wooden shingles. |

| Cow & Calf Santa Barbara, CA |

 |
 |
 |
 |
| These Cow and Calf statues are installed on the roofs of the former McConnell's Ice Cream plant. The Cow has been located on top of the former ice cream parlor since at least the 1970s. It has been repainted different colors over the years. The building housed Cities Kitchen restaurant in 2008 when the first photo was taken. By 2011, the restaurant had closed and the building was vacant when the other photos were taken in 2012. The Calf statue is just down the street and looks in the direction of the cow. I believe the Calf statue was installed around 2010. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. |
