Not a big deal, you say? Cow statues are plentiful...especially in Texas, you say? Well, ok, you're right but this one seemed familiar and as I rummaged through my hard drives of pictures and video...
I stumbled across this little beauty in Benbrook, TX, about 60 miles east of the other one:
The resemblance is striking. Long lost twins, perhaps? Our friends at Roadside America tell us there are multiple mega-cows grazing along the back roads of the U.S. and that there are standard fiberglass models and not so standard fiberglass models. But I think it's safe to say that these two are from the same herd.
So what's the story? Were they both previously perched at Schepp's and then one got out when the farmer left the gate open? Are their origins completely separate from Schepp's and then later the dairy got a hold of one of them? Another open case file in the world of roadside mysteries...
