WOULD YOU TAKE THE COW OR THE CASH?
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
Today we presented our 75th Anniversary Sweepstakes Grand Prize to Kimberly Karas of Forest Hill, Maryland, about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore. Her prize was her very own 13-foot-tall Turkey Hill Giant Cow. (We’ve got three of them, so we figured we could spare one.)
We towed the Giant Cow down to Forest Hill and presented Kimberly and her husband Peter with their prize in a ceremony at their house. We gave her a choice: keep the cow or take the cash value equivalent ($18,750). She chose the cash. To be honest, we sort of figured she would.
Kimberly also won an ice cream party for her family and 100 of their friends, which she’ll be taking later this summer. Said Kimberly afterwards, “As tempting as it was to be the only family on our block with a giant cow lawn ornament, the money was too good to pass up.” She and her husband plan to spend some of the money on an overseas vacation. Can’t argue with that!

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

The Turkey Hill Giant Cow is definitely female, as evidenced by her udders. Male cows are udderless.
(Although there was an animated film released last year called “Barnyard” that was roundly criticized by purists because the male cows in the movie were all drawn with udders.
