A great find and capture Pat, although I am puzzled as why anyone would bother to make a plastic cow in the first place...LOL! I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when you first encountered this synthetic bovine! #8509929

A plastic cow you say, & $3,000 you say.... I'll probably not get one. She is rather nice looking though, good full frame portrait=^..^= #8695565
