Mary Kay is an artist, and she says, "I have been painting in oils for four
years, so I'm relatively new at this. Animals are my passion, always have been,
so it was ony natural that they are my favorite subject. I donate paintings
to Farm Sanctuary every year for their auction, along with other smaller
advocacy groups. That is my goal, to make a difference in how we view and
treat our fellow beings. I hope to create something others enjoy viewing."
You can find her paintings and purchase them on her website,

Quick Cow facts:
Do cows have horns? Yes, female bovines almost always have horns. While
some cows are naturally polled (which means horn-free), the majority have their
horns removed when they are calves to make them safer to handle. So, YES,
cows can indeed have horns!
Oreo cookie cows? Yes, there are "belted" bovines out there!
More cow facts!
- There are an estimated 920 cow breeds in the world!
- Holsteins are typically white cows with big, black spots that usually cover 50% of the cow's body.
- Seen any "oreo cookie" cows? Dutch Belted and Belted Galloways are two breeds that are black with a wide white belt around the middle.
- The Dutch Belted is a black cow with a white "belt." Their history is a bit unclear before the 1600s. A few records and paintings show belted cows grazing on the estates of Dutch nobility before this time.
- The Dutch first brought Holsteins into New York; at that time the cows were simply called Dutch cattle.
- Ayrshires are red-and-white. The red is contained in small, jagged spots.
- The White Park is an all white cow with black points -- black ears, nose, hoofs, rims of the eyes, and teats, but not the tail switch.
- In the US, the Brown Swiss is second only to the Holstein in total milk yield.
