Soft yellow hide, hooves,
Bessie wouldn’t last an hour
in Iowa’s sun.

Now, as an Iowa girl, I couldn’t help but write about the butter cow at the Iowa State Fair. Nope, not kidding. (Image courtesy of Iowa State Fair Image Library.)
I admire the sculptors who are able to create buttery works!

And it’s not just butter cows–there have been a butter Elvis and a butter Harley-Davidson among other things!!
