Head Bump Cows

(hit "refresh" to get the most recent version of this page; click on photos for larger images)

The fiberglass cows on this page are all the same type and were apparently produced from the same mold. I believe they are still being produced by FAST Fiberglass. They all have their front feet together and a noticeable bump on top of their heads. Therefore, I have taken to calling them "Head Bump Cows" for lack of another name. These cows have visible ribs at their mid-sections. Their heads are turned slightly to the left.

 Jilly the Cow
Brevort, MI
This patriotic cow was photographed at FAST Corporation around 2001. It was ready for shipment. I don't know if FAST produced the mold for these cows or if it was acquired by one of its predecessors.

The Cow in Sturgeon Bay is located at Schopf's Hilltop Dairy. [map]

Jilly the Cow stood on a trailer and was temporarily displayed in front of an ice cream stand when this photo was taken in 2009. The statue advertises for Jilbert's Dairy (see below). The trailer is moved around for local events and parades.

Jilbert's Dairy
Marquette, MI
In addition to the trailer cow shown above, Jilbert's Dairy has two other Jillys cows. One stands in a garden while the other is perched on a silo. Jilbert's has been producing and delivering milk since 1937. The cows have been here since around 1990. [map]

Harmilda
Harvard, IL
Harvard was once known as the Milk Capital of the World. The town still celebrates with an annual Milk Days festival. The original Harmilda statue was built in 1966. It was produced by Prewitt Fiberglass Animals for $250,000. In 1970, the Harvard Herald had a Name the Cow contest. The name of Harmilda was chosen as an abbreviation for Harvard Milk Days.

In 1977, the original Harmilda was put in storage and replaced with this cow. It stands in Five Points Park. The old statue was brought out during Milk Days and taken to other cities for parades. I don't know if this is still done. The mural behind the statue was created by Cindy Synove in 2003. [map]
