Salem Sue

On the way to Fargo, we stopped to visit the world's largest holstein cow, Salem Sue, who is perched on a hill in New Salem, ND.  I climbed up a giant hill to get another photo, and there was a mound of rocks that were rattling (cicadas or snakes?  who knows) so I climbed back down, and we drove the precipitous gravel road back to I-94 East.

  1. Weren't you creeped out by the painted veins on the udder, which you can stand directly under?

    Quite the testament to human ingenuity.

  2. AUUGH Yes! We did remark upon that--we weren't sure whether to laud the attention to detail, or be a little squicked out by it. Also, there was condensation dripping off the teats, which added another layer of grossness.
