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!
- The Chianina is the largest cow (or bull for that matter).
- Brahman cattle come in different colors, including black, brown, white, grey, red, and spotted, although solid grey and red are most common.
- Jerseys are a refined, cute cow, with wedgy body shape. They are typically a shade of fawn. But occasionally a Jersey could be grey, reddish, or spotted white.
- Ungulate is a term for any hoofed mammal. Cows are considered even-toed ungulates. (Pigs, camels, and deer are also even-toed ungulates.)
- A cow's heart beats between 60 and 70 beats per minute.
- Occasionally, a red-spotted Holstein will be born. Red is the recessive color.
- The Chianina cow originated from the same region as Chianti wine -- in Tuscany, Italy. (The "ch" in Chianina is pronounced like a "k".)
- Holsteins are typically white cows with big, black spots that usually cover 50% of the cow's body.
