DES MOINES, Iowa
Sometime before you die, you must visit the Iowa State Fair. And when you visit the Iowa State Fair, the one exhibit you must see is the world-famous Butter Cow: A sculpture. Of a cow. Made of butter.
By the way, I won two blue ribbons for Blogging Excellence:
As you love butter so much, Stacy, have you chowed down on this?
Or is there a video you haven’t uploaded yet? 🙂
I thought the lady who had sculpted the butter cow every year for the last half-century passed away?
So who is doing it now? Has Stacy revealed yet another hidden talent, like running down Bambi?
The Butter Cow sculpture tradition is being carried on by the descendants of the original sculptor.
World (in)famous butter cow? What is Michael Moore doing at the Iowa State Fair?
The butter cow is sexy… Stacy, there’s a chance you’ve been spending a little too much time out in corn country, IYKWIMAITYD…
If they wrap that butter cow in bacon, then deep fry it – I’m in.
The cow winked at you … I fear another neo-confederate sex panic is coming on!
Rancid butter is hallucinogenic. Time for them that govern the blogosphere to have RSM piss in the little plastic cup.
You deserve some big giant Blue Ribbons, Stacy, and of course, massive Tip Jar donations. Nobody works harder than you or has provided better coverage of the events in Iowa than you. Thank you so much for all the information and entertainment you provide.
If you think the butter cow is sexy, you should head up to the Minnesota State Fair . They carve replicas of their dairy princesses out of butter.
I lived in Iowa much of my life and… I never did understand… the butter cow. I just… for the life of me… I just don’t get it. But I am happy I don’t get it, and never will. I think people who get it have at least one major problem.
Oh, if she winks, you aren’t supposed to tell. Like the wish you make when blowing out the candles on your birthday cake.
I just hope they’re not butterfaced.

FWIW, while the Michigan State Fair was still in operation, we too had a butter cow. Sadly, the state nearly went bankrupt last year so things had to be cut out of the budget. The state fair was one of them.
Best we can do these days is a cream cheese gnome in the cream cheese container.
