Bull Statues (page 1)

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

The fiberglass bull statues below are the smooth, beefy models with and without halters. They are about 12 feet tall. They all have their left hind leg in a forward position. I believe these smoother coated statues were meant to represent Black Angus cattle and were usually painted black.

Bull
Wautoma, WI
 Elsie the Cow
Elsie, MI
This Bull statue in Wautoma is installed in front of the Silvercryst restaurant and motel. [map]

Elsie the Cow stands outside the village hall in Elsie. Not to be confused with Borden's Elsie, the town was named after the first child born in town when it was settled back in 1857. This statue was originally located at a dairy farm in town. [map]

Moe's Diner
Osseo, WI
The Moe's Diner bull watches the interstate traffic from the top of the restaurant's sign. This statue appears to have had a blanket sign like those shown on the next page. However, this statue's more detailed halter is a match for those shown here. Moe's Diner also had a Rooster. Moe's closed in 2017 but this statue remains. [map]

Bull
Eau Claire, WI
2007:		 Chippewa Falls, WI (now Lake Hallie, WI)
2011:
Bull
Chippewa Falls, WI [gone]
This Bull statue in Eau Claire was incorporated into the sign of Heckel's Family Restaurant. He wears a "cheesehead" hat typically worn by Green Bay Packers fans. By 2008, the Heckel's Eau Claire location had closed and the statue was moved to the Chippewa Falls location.

The fuzzy-coated bull on a trailer at this location has a unique halter and fur pattern. It may have been remodeled or produced by another company.

In 2023, the Chippewa Falls location also closed and the statues were sold. The fuzzy bull is now at a private residence in Lake Hallie, WI. The "cheesehead" statue is now at JNE Meats in Lake Hallie. [map]

Moomaw Elevator & Trucking [gone]
Stewardson, IL
2010:
 2024:
The Moomaw Elevator & Trucking bull was accompanied by smaller statues of a pig, a goat and a lamb. These statues were there by 2007. By 2023, only the bull and the pig were left. By 2025, the statues and building were gone.

Bull
Denison, IA
This Bull statue represents Earl Marshall, a champion Angus steer. This statue was originally located in Sunset Park in Denison. It was moved here to the Crawford County Fairgrounds in 1982. [map]

Bull [gone]
Indianapolis, IN
The Bull statue at Karman Produce in Indianapolis was brightly painted and stood on a trailer among the lawn ornaments when these photos were taken in 2005. By 2010, the statue was gone and a BBQ stand had replaced the produce stand. I'm told that the bull was sold to someone in Fort Wayne.

Bull
Wellington, KY
 Bull [gone]
Muskogee, OK
The Bull statue in Wellington was installed at the Bluegrass Restaurant in Lexington, KY in the 1970s. Around 1980, it was moved to a gas station and convenience store/bait shop. The gas station was demolished and the store behind it appears to be vacant. However, the bull remains. [map]

The Bull statue in Muskogee was installed on the roof of Okie's Restaurant. Apparently, his red eyes glowed in the dark. The statue's bib appears to be the same as those of the Logansport statues. It also has horns which may have been added at some point. The restaurant closed and the bull was removed sometime between 2016 and 2018.

Bulls
Edneyville, NC
The Bull statues at Bub Hyder Ranch were laying on their sides near the fence when these photos were taken in 2007. By 2009, they were upright. The black statue is the same type as those shown above. The brown and white statue is like those shown on this page. Bub Hyder has a large collection of Americana on display at his ranch, including a couple of Giant Men. [map]
