Nothing Compares Nothing compares to the Iowa State Fair! Over one MILLION visitors will go through the gates at the fair many of whom wanting to see the ever so prized BUTTER COW. The Butter Cow starts with a wood, metal, wire and steel mesh frame and about 600 lbs. of low moisture, pure cream Iowa butter. Once inside the 40-degree cooler, layers of butter are applied until a life-size butter cow emerges - measuring about 5-1/2-ft high and 8-ft long. Each year, much of the butter is recycled and can be reused for up to 10 years. In 1911, J.K. Daniels sculpted the Fair's first butter cow and was succeeded by J.E. Wallace. In 1957, Earl Frank Dutt of Illinois took over the sculpting duties. Norma “Duffy” Lyon of Toledo, Iowa, began sculpting in 1960, becoming the fourth person and first woman to sculpt the Fair's butter beauties. In 2006, after 15 years of apprenticing with Duffy, Sarah Pratt of West Des Moines became the Fair's fifth butter sculptor. A real dairy cow weighs more than 1,000 pounds, but the butter version comes in at around 600 pounds. The butter cow would butter about 19,200 slices of toast and take an average person two lifetimes to consume. |
