Highway Cows


On the outskirts of Olympia along Highway 101, these metal bovine have greeted drivers for several years. Made from old oil tanks they include the bull who looks like he's guarding the twenty acres around him, the cow, & a suckling calf. Don't you love roadside Americana?

    I had to do a double-take! Then I wondered where you found such RED cows! This is great.

    Yeah, that red is from a "high iron" diet. ;)

    Roadside America is often interesting, but not always as attractive as this. This is fantastic! :)
