Olympia, Washington - Metal Cows

These cows used to be located in a field on the south end of Woodinville, on hwy 202. I used to pass them on my way to and from work; however, they began to disappear a couple years ago. I believe the bull was the first to go, and then the cow and calf. I was wondering if they had been destroyed until a recent drive to Ocean Shores. I was surprised to pass them on Hwy 101. They are now located near Olympia. [Anne, 08/19/2004]

Olympia, Washington - Family of Large Metal Cows

Three large metal cows made out of empty oil tanks, very large and quite the thing to look at on a nice day. A mother, her calf and a bull all can be seen. [Otto Rogers, 01/05/2004]

Olympia, Washington - Huge Metal Sculpture

On the outskirts of Olympia, US 101 westbound in a small place called Mudbay and just off of the road is a huge, metal, charging bull accompanied by a cow and suckling calf. These sculptures all showed up unexpectedly over the course of just a couple of weeks and the first time I saw them was about two am. as I was driving an ambulance from a neighboring community to a hospital in Olympia. I almost drove off the road! [Gerald Donnelly, 04/16/2003]
