and gave her service to mankind
World's Champion Milk Cow
Born 1913 - Died 1925
Twice she registered production records that set her fame above all dairy cattle of any age. In each of two years she exceeded 16,500 quarts of milk, 1400 pounds of butter, yielding for the two a total of 33,922 quarts of milk--2865.18 pounds of butter. Sired by a kind and of purest Holstein strain--she herself bore sons and daughters of champion achievement--finest type of the noble, patient animal that is most justly named.
The foster mother of the human race
Her queenly worth deserved the gratitude in which this tribute is erected by her owner.
Erected 1928 by Carnation Milk Farms.
