The Giant Cows of the United States

Are the cow clones spreading?

The Giant Cows of Wisconsin relates the tale of five giant cow clones dotting the Wisconsin landscape. The Giant Cows of Georgia finds two more in that state. Where else do these cow clones live?

I found the above cow in Lockwood Park in Rockford, Illinois. I found this picture of a cow in St. Mary's, Pennsylvania.

Are there more of these cows? Are there clones in other states? Let me know if you see one, but first look at these photographs carefully and check for the following characteristics, since not all cow statues are clones of these:

• About 18 to 20 feet tall
• Horns
• Udder
• End of tail attached to left rear leg
• Left front leg and right rear leg forward
• Small plate on right front inside thigh or on chest with the words "SCULPTURED ADVERTISING SPARTA WISC" on it (although some are missing the plate).

Don't tell me about different cows statues of other sizes. They don't count.

You can read more about big cows at the Roadside America web site.
