 What Alan Tellman is speaking of is Salem Sue, a 38-foot-tall, 50-foot-long Holstein cow, the largest in the world, constructed to stand on a hill overlooking the town of New Salem. She has been here ever since 1974. At the beginning of the 20th century, several area creameries were here to process the large amounts of milk produced by local farms. Then she stood for the present dairy industry. The dairy industry obviously has shifted in the country. It's not like it used to be at all.
