Description

Dala cows are not traditional symbols of Sweden; dala horses are the original, commanding most of the attention, though pigs and roosters are next most popular dala animals. But while they are not commonly carved and painted like a dalahäst, milk cows have long had a place on Swedish farms. Holsteins, with their bold black and white coloring, are basically the face of the dairy industry—what they may lack in butterfat and protein, they make up for in sheer volume of milk, making them one of the most popular breeds among dairy producers. It’s the breed I grew up with on our family’s multi-generational dairy farm in central Minnesota, so to me, it will always be the quintessential dairy breed.

Dimensions: 11 x 14 inches

Art is unmatted and unframed.

This is original colored pencil art. The colored pencil has been treated with fixative to reduce wax bloom, the natural rising of wax to the surface of the pigment. However, if the picture seems to have dulled over time, remove the art from the frame and wipe gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. This will remove the wax build-up.
