Gracie Bell: Big Cow

Grayslake, Illinois

This large fiberglass Holstein is 14 feet high and 23 feet long. Gracie Bell has a tan nose, knees, and udder. She stands at the Lake County Farm Bureau, in a fenced-in "pasture" far too small to feed such an immense bovine.

Gracie Bell was unveiled in September 2023. She was named in a contest; the runners-up were "Elsie" and "Milkshake."
