EVEN GIANT COWS NEED A REFILL NOW AND THEN
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
A quick thinking Turkey Hill fan snapped this photo of our Giant Cow making a pit stop on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Ernie winced when he saw this photo because of the tight fit between the cow’s head and the roof, but she made it out okay (our drivers are professionals!). If anyone sees our Giant Cow this summer, take a picture and send it to us. We’ll post it here on the Ice Cream Journal!
Speaking of our bodacious bovine, the Turkey Hill Giant Cow is on Twitter. A week or two ago we told you Turkey Hill was on Twitter (feel free to check us out here), but now our cow is tweeting her days away. As you’d expect from a cow, her tweets are somewhat simple, but you can watch her and, if you’re a Twitter use, follow her here.



Follow us on twitter!



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.

Your sugar free ice cream-vanilla is great!
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:31 pmIf you have never tried Turkey Hill Philadelphia Style Vanilla you absolutly must. It tastes so rich and wonderful that it is the only ice cream that stands up to my home made Blueberry Syrup. What a summer treat. Can’t wait for dessert time. Yum!
July 21st, 2009 at 7:20 pmholy cow thats a big one!!!!
July 21st, 2009 at 2:51 pmCOOL LOOKING COW I LOVE ICE CREAM
July 21st, 2009 at 2:49 pmvery cool
July 14th, 2009 at 11:42 amI like the idea of a “Name The Cow Contest!” I saw the cow at the Camden Aquarium…a photo just does not do it justice. WOW! That truck driver deserves a raise! Good job!
July 14th, 2009 at 12:54 amShe sure does come to NJ. We just saw her at the Special Olympics in June at the College of NJ in Trenton. She is always a welcome sight!
July 13th, 2009 at 10:27 pmI would love to see the giant cow. She should visit the Elkhart County 4-H fair next summer(Elkhart County Indiana). It’s the biggest county fair in Indiana and the second biggest county fair in the US. Elkhart county has lots of ice cream lovers!!!!!!
July 13th, 2009 at 10:09 pmI’m so glad she didn’t lose her head over it!!
July 13th, 2009 at 3:48 pmlove the cow, love the ice cream even more. keep it coming.
July 13th, 2009 at 3:48 pmWe saw it. So cute!
July 13th, 2009 at 2:39 pmLiving in Maryland these pictures are the only way I can see the Turkey Hill Giant Cow. I will just have to make a trip to Pennsylvania and see it in person.
July 13th, 2009 at 1:02 pmGreat pic! I’ll have to keep an eye out for the cow this summer!
July 13th, 2009 at 10:01 amWhat a funny picture. I didn’t even relalize that you had a traveling cow.
July 13th, 2009 at 9:09 amBring the Giant Cow to the St. Patricks Day Parade is Girardville, PA – everyone would enjoy it!
July 13th, 2009 at 9:05 amWe’ll be in your neck of the woods at the end of this month–so we’ll be on the lookout for Bo the Bodacious Bovine. Hope to snap a photo of her.
July 13th, 2009 at 7:50 amTurkey Hill makes the best coffee Ice Cream there is!
July 13th, 2009 at 1:53 amLOVE THAT TURKEY HILL-CHOCO MINT CHIP. IT’S MADE LIKE THEY DID IN THE OLD DAYS– NOT JUST LITTLE TINY CHUNKS IN WHITE FLAVORED ICE CREAM, BUT CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS ALL THROUGH IT–SOME IN EVERY BITE!!YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!!!BEST I EVER ET!! NOW, DO YOU HAVE ANY FOR US WHO ARE LACTOSE INTOLERANT?? IF NOT YET, I WILL JUST HAVE TO SUFFER,’CAUSE I WON’T EVER STOP EATING MY TURKEY HILL CHOCO MINT CHIP ICE CREAM!!! BRING HER ROYAL BOVINE HIGHNESS DOWN I-81, TO THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY,BETWEEN HARRISONBURG & STAUNON,VA….WE WANT HER, WE NEED HER, WE LOVE HER!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 9:55 pmDuetto is a great name, but since it’s already taken by the ice cream…Swirlz would be nice. Maybe Turkey Hill should have a contest for that-NAME THAT COW, MAN!
July 12th, 2009 at 9:28 pmI would have loved to see the cow on the turnpike also! Bet she turned a lot of heads!!
July 12th, 2009 at 9:13 pmIf I would eat as much ice cream as I want I WOULD BE A COW!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 9:10 pmYou should have a contest to name the cow!! Of course the prize would have to include Turkey Hill Ice Cream!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 8:28 pmImagine if that giant container of ice cream was real!
July 12th, 2009 at 8:26 pmYour giant cow needs a name. She also needs a herd so many towns can receive bovine visitors simultaneously.
July 12th, 2009 at 8:14 pmWow! The cow just fit under there!!!! That is really neat!!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 7:47 pmKind of reminds me about the time I was in Lancaster and saw a horse and buggy pull up to the drive up window at the bank–just as I ran out of film. Glad you didn’t havethe same issue!
July 12th, 2009 at 7:37 pmLoved the picture of the cow. Keep the pictures and stories coming.
July 12th, 2009 at 7:25 pmI’m not a Twitterer, but I am happy to see the turkey hill cow anywhere, anytime.
July 12th, 2009 at 7:05 pmI know this is a Duetta cow, but our stores seem to have stopped Duetta, and I love it. Especially the coconut and chocolate. All gone. Love that cow. Seen it many times here in Lancaster County. It was just to our two TH stores in Etown with free samples of the new ice creamcake. Delicious
July 12th, 2009 at 6:54 pmCute cow…hope to see if in MD/DC area this summer.
July 12th, 2009 at 6:50 pmMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm duetto!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 6:05 pmI agree with other commenters. Bring that bright colorful cow to Voorhees NJ the 1 near Cherry Hill to cheer us all up and promote your icecream in this area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 6:01 pmHOLY COW that bovine is udderly humongous
July 12th, 2009 at 5:56 pmThat picture made me smile–I’ll have to see when she’s going to be in our area!!
July 12th, 2009 at 5:21 pmCome to Hampstead, MD. Giant Cow!
July 12th, 2009 at 5:13 pmThe first and only time I saw the cow was while I was holding two grandchildren on my lap at my daughter’s house. I was facing the window and saw the cow go by on the road in front of their house. The kids didn’t believe me when I said I saw a great big cow drive by (actually, I wasn’t so sure I believed me either!), so we looked it up online. We can’t wait to have a chance to go see the cow one day.
July 12th, 2009 at 4:51 pmLove those Duetto cows and Duetto too!
July 12th, 2009 at 2:43 pmWe have seen her twice at both our local Turkey Hill convenience stores. Guess we are among the lucky ones!! Keep MOOvin’ on down the road girl. All the children loving seeing you! My grandchildren would have burst they’re britches if they had seen that!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 2:26 pmWould have loved to see cow on recent trip to PA but missed it. Bring it to Colonial Williamsburg, Va. Wonder,did they have ice cream in colonial days?
July 12th, 2009 at 2:12 pmI want the cow to bring me ice cream right now. Summer school is a total drab on my summer, but ice cream makes everything better.
July 12th, 2009 at 2:05 pmhi turkey hill,
July 12th, 2009 at 1:51 pmi love the picture of the cow.do she have a name?
The Turkey Hill Cow needs to come to Erie, PA… my niece and nephew would love to see it! Although I love the cow’s pink color, I think the coffee flavor is your best:)
July 12th, 2009 at 1:32 pmgives new meaning to the Mooove over cow coming through!1
July 12th, 2009 at 1:30 pmhay, we are mooing to see ya in williamsport Pa
July 12th, 2009 at 1:24 pmPlease bring your cow to Maryland! barbara
July 12th, 2009 at 1:01 pmI agree with Lori bring the cow to the Arch!
July 12th, 2009 at 12:29 pmAwesome picture! I have seen the TH cow up close and it is truly amazing! Not only do the kids love her, but so do the adults. I wish I had been there to see the toll takers face as well as other people who see a giant cow being driven down the road.
July 12th, 2009 at 12:29 pmI once saw the cow a few years ago at the Ice Cream Festival in New Castle County Delaware – AWESOME
July 12th, 2009 at 12:22 pmIf the cow filled up with Turkey Hill icecream, how much would she hold? Now there is a trivia question for you.
July 12th, 2009 at 10:54 amGREAT COW !!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 10:47 amDOES SHE COME IN DIFFERENT COLORS OR SHOULD I SAY FLAVORS. HA HA.
I ALWAYS LOOK FOR HER ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH PA.
are you going to have a “Cow” special ice cream ?????
July 12th, 2009 at 10:46 amJust tried vanilla bean for the first time. This is not your grandfathers vanilla.
July 12th, 2009 at 10:38 amDoes the Giant Cow ever go out of PA.? We’d love to see her in northern VA.
July 12th, 2009 at 10:31 amIt was a tight fit under that roof, glad she made it out OK.
When my grandchildren come to visit the first thing that say is “Can we have ice cream” of course I bring out the Turkey Hill and have an excuse to have some myself. I didn’t know they had a traveling cow. I have to tell the grandchildren to watch out for it.
July 12th, 2009 at 9:50 amI’ve never seen your cow except in a picture but hope I do get to see it soon.
July 12th, 2009 at 9:41 am[...] This post was Twitted by turkeyhilldairy [...]
July 12th, 2009 at 9:22 amIs there milk in those tanks? Cows don’t fill up with gas (I HOPE!!!)
July 12th, 2009 at 9:17 amI hope to see her when we return to PA for our summer vacation. We’ll have our camera handy in case we spot her!
July 12th, 2009 at 9:16 amAnd I always thought you took the cow for a fill-up to the water tower by the train tracks of an old steam engine train line
July 12th, 2009 at 9:14 amGreat AD and PR.
July 12th, 2009 at 9:12 amOkay fess up. When’s the cow coming to NYC?? We need bovine love in the form of copious amounts of Turkey Hill too!
July 12th, 2009 at 9:10 amWent on a wine tasting tour last night…They gave us a recipe for a cool summer drink..USING Vanilla ice-cream (Turkey Hill of course!)Can’t wait to try it!
July 12th, 2009 at 8:47 amOh, Bovine Bessie, I hope you’ll be vacationing in the Allegheny National Forest next week. That’s where we’ll be, and I’d love to meet you up close and personal.
July 12th, 2009 at 8:44 amhaha that’s so awesome. What exactly does this cow do?
July 12th, 2009 at 8:43 amI would have loved to see that Giant Cow squeezed in there in person. Bet a lot of people stopped dead in their tracks to see that sight. That is the cutest way to advertise Turkey Hill products, really gets your attention!
July 12th, 2009 at 8:40 amI’ve seen the cow going down the road several times, and it always makes me smile. By the way…does she have a name?
July 12th, 2009 at 8:38 amCute pic! I would have liked to have seen this on the highway too.
July 12th, 2009 at 8:28 amThat would be so funny to see on the highway!
July 12th, 2009 at 8:17 amMy daughter would love to see the TH cow!
July 12th, 2009 at 8:12 amI’ve seen the TH cow many times, the last time at a church on 72 here in Lebanon, Pa. It is always a awesome sight, makes me want to eat ice cream. It is really hugh. Linda
July 12th, 2009 at 7:59 amI like the color.
July 12th, 2009 at 7:57 amHow cool! I’ve never seen the Cow in person.
July 12th, 2009 at 7:56 amWe saw the Giant Swirly Cow one time, going down the PA turnpike! What a site that was. Unfortunately, it’s a little hard to take a picture when we were going in opposite directions! Still a site I”ll never forget though!
July 12th, 2009 at 7:55 amHow fun it must have been to see that sight!
July 12th, 2009 at 7:49 amI’ve been enjoying my tweets with the cow!
July 12th, 2009 at 7:43 amThat would be hysterical to see driving down the road…my daughter would LOVE that!!
July 12th, 2009 at 7:41 amI live in the Pittsburgh area so I will have my camera ready and hopefully this summer I will attend an event that the Turkey Hill cow is invited to.
July 12th, 2009 at 7:29 amWow she is big I did not realize how big she was I would love to her in person I thing she should visit Wyoming county NY she would be a big hit and she would fit right in because there is more cows here then there are people and every we do here is about dairy we are the number dairy producing county in NYS with over 45800 cows and 42000 people
July 12th, 2009 at 7:22 amLove that Giant Cow. Hopefully it will visit Long Island one day.
July 12th, 2009 at 7:05 amLet me try that again!! Do the Turkey Hill cows have names??
July 12th, 2009 at 6:44 amDo the Turkey hill ows have names???
July 12th, 2009 at 6:43 amGreat “bodacious bovine”! Thanks for sharing the picture.

And what flavor does the cow travel with in order to stay healthy and fit?
July 12th, 2009 at 6:36 amI would love to meet the giant cow, maybe get a photo with it.
July 12th, 2009 at 6:36 amThat has to be a sight to drivers when driving down the road and a giant,cow passes you LOL
July 12th, 2009 at 6:33 amI didn’t know you had a giant cow. My son would love to see that.
July 12th, 2009 at 6:29 amDoes he get filled up with one percent, fat free or high test?
July 12th, 2009 at 5:07 amWe are celebrating The Taste Of Buffalo this weekend.You should plan on sending the cow next year.Would be a “HUGE” success.
July 12th, 2009 at 4:23 amDon’t bovines prodcue their own natural gas
to help the nevironment.
July 12th, 2009 at 4:08 amThat must have been some sight!
July 11th, 2009 at 10:09 pmWhat a cute pic! Thanks!
July 11th, 2009 at 9:35 pmI hope I see it sometime in my life… Hershey, PA…..(hint,hint)
July 11th, 2009 at 9:20 pmThe cow made it to the Big E in Western Mass once, and they had a story about it going to NH for a party once, so it probably does get to NJ now and again.
July 11th, 2009 at 9:10 pmTop off the tank.
July 11th, 2009 at 8:36 pmI live in western PA & was wondering if the cow ever travels this far west?!?
July 11th, 2009 at 8:03 pmSpeaking of refueling cows…live cows that is. Since milk is a staple of a nutritious diet, and young human babies need it, olderly women need it, and really any human who is developing bones drink it, what do cows drink? Do elderly or mid-life cows also drink milk on a daily basis, or does water suffice for them? I have always knows that cows produce milk, but have only seen troughs of water for them to drink from. Do they drink a fluid (milk) that comes from their own body, or other animals milk, or do they only get water? Makes me wonder…
July 11th, 2009 at 8:02 pmOne of my lifetime goals has always been to see the giant cow herself in person! I have pretty much stalked photos of her, and learned her history from the Turkey HIll page, but have yet to actually see her in person. I feel like we have such a history already or are such old friends because she is basically the mascott of the love of my life, so it pains me a little that I have not seen her. Perhaps I should relocate myself to Pennsylvania when I graduate from school!
July 11th, 2009 at 7:59 pmWhat a great photo! Thanks so much for sharing. I love Turkey Hill!
July 11th, 2009 at 7:54 pmHahaha…so cute!
July 11th, 2009 at 7:37 pmI wouldn’t mind a tub of ice cream as big as that one!!
Is there only one cow? It would be nice if anyone spotting her could have a free ice cream cone!Or you could swap gas in the tank for ice cream in our house!
July 11th, 2009 at 7:34 pmThe Shop Rite near my house in Hyde Park NY had a sale on your ice cream so I got a carton of birthday cake. I loved it.
July 11th, 2009 at 7:29 pmOk, the Giant Cow is a lot bigger than I thought. lol And how can a cow tweet without opposable thumbs? I think it’s Ernie… humm
July 11th, 2009 at 6:11 pmsweet
July 11th, 2009 at 6:02 pmCool cow! I bet on Twitter she says ‘Moo…’ alot, lol.
July 11th, 2009 at 5:46 pmWow the cow must have been scared yikes!
July 11th, 2009 at 5:45 pmCute Picture! Hope that was the closest call the cow ever has….
July 11th, 2009 at 5:30 pmi’d be wincing too, but esp if i was the cow!
July 11th, 2009 at 5:07 pmThis photo put a smile on my face.
July 11th, 2009 at 4:14 pmDoes the cow use EZ Pass?
July 11th, 2009 at 4:06 pmClose call!
July 11th, 2009 at 3:57 pmOne thing about the Turkey Hill cow – she won’t be hard to spot!!
July 11th, 2009 at 3:51 pmI havent see the duetto cow,but did have an opportunity many years ago to see the original cow at a grocery store in Kittanning Pa(about 45 min. from Pittsburgh. Do you still take the old guy to any festivals?
July 11th, 2009 at 3:47 pmBring the cow to the arch!
July 11th, 2009 at 3:41 pmA giant tweeting cow? Cool!
July 11th, 2009 at 3:32 pmAll hail the great red and wite cow! GAWD, I’m craving butter pecan!!! Happy National Ice cream Month, everyone! Peace!!
July 11th, 2009 at 2:18 pmAll hail the great red and wite cow! GAWD, I’m craving butter pecan!!! Happy National Ice cream Month, everyone! Peace!!

July 11th, 2009 at 2:18 pmThat cow looks awesome! Makes me crave cookieand milk…followed by a nice HUGE bowl of butter pecan!
July 11th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I have a feeling I won’t be seeing the cow anytime soon. I’m not sure she comes to NJ.
July 11th, 2009 at 1:43 pmI don’t know much about twitter but I know a lot about good ice cream.
July 11th, 2009 at 1:42 pmBring the cow to Jersey!!!
July 11th, 2009 at 1:05 pmit’s hundering..threatening to rain.. soumds like a perfect time for a bowl of turkey hill ice cream to me… but then when isn’t a good time??
July 11th, 2009 at 12:28 pmGlad to see your Cow traveling the PA roads! We just had Vanilla on a fabulous local berry cobbler….cherries and blueberries topped with a cobbler cake and ICE CREAM, of course!
July 11th, 2009 at 12:24 pmIt looks like the Giant Cow is going to get a refill by eating from the giant tub of ice cream in front of her!
July 11th, 2009 at 12:12 pmit looks like she just barely fit.
July 11th, 2009 at 12:11 pmI even winced when I first saw this picture. That Was a tight fit. I’m glad she made it okay.
July 11th, 2009 at 11:16 amI’ll bet that was some “pit stop”
July 11th, 2009 at 11:11 amI don’t know anything about twitter, but love my ice cream
July 11th, 2009 at 10:44 amI don’t know anything about twitter, but I still love ice cream
July 11th, 2009 at 10:43 amMy husband loves your moosetracks. Ever since he discovered it he has me buy it every week. Me personally loves any flavor and must have a bowl of ice cream every night before I go to bed.
July 11th, 2009 at 9:43 amYou should bring the Giant Cow to our Three Rivers Festival Parade in July in Fort Wayne, IN. It is the biggest festival in Indiana!
