SECOND SCOOP: THE BIGGEST COWS IN ALL THE LAND!
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
The following was orginally posted on May 15, 2007:
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 her 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.

Impressive! But compared to the ‘udder’ cows, Turkey Hill’s is my favorite.

December 14th, 2007 at 10:36 pmI love to see the cow when it shows up at Landis Homes Retirement Community on the Oregon Pike. My mother and mother-in-law both live there and my husband and son both work there. Thanks.

December 13th, 2007 at 4:10 pmI LOVE THE BLOGS ON THE COWS! I WISH I COULD SEE THE ONE THAT GALLOPS ACROSS THE SCREEN BETTER. I’D LIKE TO SEE HER GALLOPING DOWN MAIN STREET IN WAYNESBORO. I LOVE THE ICE CREAM.
December 13th, 2007 at 2:32 pmAS I MENTIONED BEFORE, I THOUGHT A GOOD HOLIDAY ICE CREAM WOULD BE CALLED “FRUIT CAKE” MADE WITH AN ALMOND BASE (LIGHTLY) ADD CHIPS OF CHERRIES,PINEAPPLE,A TAD OF ORANGE CHIPS,AND WONDERFULLY TINY SLIVERS OF ALMONDS. TOP THIS OFF WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND A HOT DRIZZLE OF CARAMEL. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL AND GOOD HEALTH FOR 2008.
December 13th, 2007 at 2:30 pmTHERE IS NOTHING I DON’T LIKE ABOUT ALL OF THE TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM PRODUCTS.
December 13th, 2007 at 12:17 pmI CAN TAKE AND ENJOY ALL OF THEM ANY TIME, ALL OF THE TIME.
I’d like to have that cow full of ice cream!
November 21st, 2007 at 5:34 pmImagine how much ice cream you could make from that big cow!
November 17th, 2007 at 10:47 pmHave you ever just dropped him off at someone’s house, to hang out on the front lawn overnight? That way when they woke up the next morning they would be totally confused!! You could leave a post it on the front door saying: Watch my cow till I get back! I’d love that! When I get a yard of my own, I’ll call you guys! It would be a great surprise for the neighbors, he he!!
November 17th, 2007 at 2:26 pmMy husband ask me how much hay does it eat and if we got one would it keep the hight of the grass down so he would not have to cut it. The next and last thing he will ask me is to cut the grass.
November 16th, 2007 at 12:17 pmI agree. Turkey Hill still has the World’s Biggest SWIRLY cow. That’s gotta be a record somewhere, eh?
November 16th, 2007 at 11:29 amMan, that’s one big cow. I’ll take the Turkey Hill cow though.
November 16th, 2007 at 10:08 amThe giant swirley cow might not of won for BIGGEST cow,, but I’ll bet she’d win for Most Colorful or Prettiest! I KNOW she’d win for the one everyone would recognize right away!
November 16th, 2007 at 7:37 amWow that’s a big cow.
November 15th, 2007 at 10:22 pmWow thats one BIG COW lots of ice cream there!!!!
