Your opinion on a very old cow, please

[Theodore W.]

All these links are to one statue of what one registry considered more than half a century ago the "ideal cow". Your opinion about the portrayed animal please?

(In case you wonder about the environment: The statue has been moved.)

I can't see much difference than what we're looking for today.

Thanks. I might have added that this animal, (well the cow which stood model) is part of the "Holstein"-sisterhood, in a period in which the beef production seemed to be more important for dairy farmers than in other periods.
