The Cows Are Out...

Those four words can send a cattle raiser’s pulse racing, but today, the vast majority of bovines on the loose in Fayette County are for sale at Round Top/Warrenton antique show venues. Although Holstein cows appear to have provided the most inspiration for artists and artisans, it’s a motley herd, some with pedigrees originating in France. The show may be winding down, but there’s still time to corral a few head. Cow creative! Photos by Elaine Thomas
