THE BIGGEST COWS IN ALL THE LAND!
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
After last week’s event featuring our Giant Cow, we got to thinking about whether she could be the largest cow in the world.
After a few minutes of research, we found out she’s not. The honor of “World’s Largest” goes to “Salem Sue” in New Salem, North Dakota (that’s here on the left). She stands 38 feet tall, 50 feet long and weighs six tons. To put it in perspective, our Giant Swirly Cow is a mere 13 feet tall and weighs two tons.
And then there’s “Chatty Belle” in Neillsville, Wisconsin, who takes the title as the world’s largest talking cow. She’s just a hair bigger than ours at 16 feet tall and 20 feet long. For 10 or 25 cents (the price varies from website to website), you can hear Chatty’s lecture, during which she’ll introduce you to her non-talking, life-sized son, Bullet, who stood next to her until 2003. Sadly, he was removed that year after falling over several times and becoming a victim of vandalism.
Here’s a website that lists several oversized bovines across the USA. Who knew there were so many? Perhaps someday the Turkey Hill Giant Cow will take a road trip and visit each one to show off her status as the World’s Largest Traveling Cow.

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.

July 3rd, 2007 at 7:27 pmThese things remind me of those big dinosaurs out in California. They were in that movie Pee Wees Big Adventure. There’s something about oversized animals…don’t know what it is.
