Holstein Socks
Main Tag:
Description: Salem Sue is a giant fiberglass Holstein cow sculpture built in 1974 in New Salem, North Dakota in honor of the local dairy farming industry. The cow, which is hollow, was constructed by Sculpture Mfg. Co in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and then transported in three parts before being assembled on site. The statue stands 38 feet high, 50 feet long, and weighs about 12,000 pounds, making her the world's largest Holstein cow, and a popular roadside attraction. She sits on School Hill near Interstate 94 off exit 127 S and can be seen for miles. Salem Sue was the second giant roadside animal sculpture built in North Dakota, after the world's largest buffalo was erected in Jamestown, North Dakota in 1959.
