FEATURED PHOTO: GIANT COWS INVADE BUFFALO

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

This photo of our Giant Swirly Cow was snapped by a quick-thinking passerby during our visit to Buffalo earlier this year (thanks to tonyolm over on Flickr for letting us use this shot). She actually looks somewhat less imposing with those building jutting up behind her. Still, she greeted the citizens of Buffalo with her head held high, because even though the city’s architecture may have dwarfed her, she was still the only giant red and white cow Buffalo had ever seen.

TODAY’S PRIZE: Today’s gift is a children’s book titled, “Ice Cream: The Full Scoop.” According to the description, this book “delivers the scoop on ice cream history, ingredients, innovations, and the mechanics of its small- and large-scale production.” Even though it’s a children’s book, we’re pretty sure you’ll want to read it yourself before giving it away as a gift.

That cow is definitely an “attention getter” in the big city. Turkey Hill Ice Cream is the BEST! There is no other brand ice cream in our freezer. Rocky Road and Butter Pecan are my favorite.

I just love Turkey Hill Mint chocolate Chip the best and all the others also.
Yours is the best and my preferred brand. I also love the cows marketing idea. I think the red cow has the slow churned swirl on its side.
The slow smooth churned is by far the best thing since sliced toast and it makes the low fat taste even better.

When I was a kid the bad boys put rocks in some of the snow balls. How about a chunk of chocolate in the middle of the ice cream snow ball. A Hershey Kiss would be nice.

If the cow was in Buffalo in the winter, maybe it would have automatically produced ice cream … or maybe ice milk.

Cows are finally capturing the public eye in a positive fashion–Harrisburg, PA, had its Parade of Cows not too long ago–artists competed for best of show, etc. It’s amazing what a little paint and imagination can do! The cows were purchased by individuals as well as companies, the money given to charity, and the landscape has greatly improved!

Does that cow have a name & does she give strawberry flavored milk. I live close to Lancaster and along a very busy highway, I’ll bet that would make the cars take a long look if the cow was in my front yard. Reminds me of Creme Savers Strawberry hard candy. The cow sure does get your attention. Happy MOO, MOO.

I must say, that is one truly beautiful picture!!!


Beth Katz wrote:

The Turkey Hill cow is bigger than the painted cows in the cow series. I think she’s bigger than my garden. She looked great parked in front of the local elementary school wearing a football helmet. Those of us who live in Lancaster County see her hanging around various places. She brings a great big smile to my face wherever I see her. But I’d rather she go back to her normal colors.

I would love to have the cow come to our school in June. The book would be great, too. We could do a whole unit on ice cream–if we used the cow and some samples, maybe we could keep their attention during the last days of the school year:)

This cow in Buffalo needs a winter hat with small red and green tinsel ornaments covering the head with ears sticking out and a red and white blanket and red sox to feel confortable during the Holiday season. Also needs a Christmas cow bell that will clang when the wind blows.
