New Salem Sue


On Mon. of this week friends Paul & Mary Osborne from Kentucky arrived to spend a few days with us. On Wed. afternoon David & Beverly Simmons from Arizona, whom we had met at Perry, GA this spring called to say they were on the way to spend the afternoon and evening with us. We had a very enjoyable but short visit with them. Thur. morning Mary, Paul & I decided to go to New Salem so they could see the giant Holstein cow that sits on a hill about 30 miles west of Bismarck. New Salem Sue stands 50 feet tall and weighs 12000 lbs. The New Salem Lions club along with the area dairy farmers erected her at a cost of $40000 back in the 80's.
