The sculpture at the State Fair of Texas has a different "theme" each year sculptured out of the butter.

The Iowa State Fair is the grandaddy of the Butter Cows! I have seen many! It was fun to watch Duffy Lyon work on the sculptures. Also, free hard boiled eggs on a stick right next to the butter cow, from the Iowa Egg Council. LOL

Ohio is also very proud of their butter cows.

The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto has excellent butter sculptures. I will take pictures in November.

This stunned me:
According to the artists, the butter gets better the more it’s worked, and one sculpture’s butter can be reused for up to 10 years.

We had a lady that would carve the Winter Carnival princesses at our state fair for years and years. She retired last year but they found a new guy to take over the tradition this year. The princesses get to keep their butter heads after the fair is over.
