Butter Cow Back At State Fair

She’s back at the Illinois State Fair.

 

The Butter Cow has returned for another year at the fair.

 

The Showcase cooler that the cow spins around in is a tradition since 1922 but there are changes for this year. The sculptress is new, Sarah Pratt takes over for Sharon BuMann. Pratt’s first creation in Illinois is a 700 pound Jersey Cow.

 

 

You may not know that the butter used to make the cow is reused for years. But this new butter was donated. Pratt says that makes it a little more difficult to work with. In all she spent about 65 hours in the cooler creating the cow.
