.. but for $25. at a nearby vintage junk emporium, what a find! I love it. An old print, glued onto a black painted board back, now hanging in my agriculture inspired bedroom…
Look at that sweet face ~
I believe this is a Dairy cow of the Jersey Variety.
This is why there can be no beef cows on the property.
The Man has suggested it.
I could never eat them.
Jersey milk is the best! You should get at least one cow for milk!
OK I love that print!!! And I agree, jersey cows give the best milk! We have a farm up the road where we get raw milk and he has sweet jersey cows and farms with horses! Lovely!
I love it when we get stuff we don't need!
What a beautiful face on that cow.
ha ha! so true! especially when you look into the eyes of those cute calves!
Sometimes it is ok to let the want take over the need..those usually end up my favorite things…
I love it! What a unique find.
You could link this up with my 'great treasure find' link up I have going on if you were interested – the link is up through Friday.
Oh, you definitely needed it! It is perfect and lovely! I grew up on a beef cattle farm. I actually named a calf I took care of Sir Loin! I learned quickly not to get too attached…
I love it! And thanks for clarifying which type it is. I seem to have trouble in that department. : )
LOL .. gotta have it … those eyes!
Love old black and white prints and etchings… I have a cute one in our bedroom hallway.. will e-mail you a pic of it.

Love it! 🙂
Oh god no, have you ever looked into the eyes of a cow? I mean a real one and not the cute drawn one. Those eyes are sooooo soft and long lashed and sweet. One of the reasons I don't eat meat. And we don't even have cows 😉
Yes, you did need it!!
Adorable!
I think there are two rules for shopping.
1) If you need it, buy it!
2) If you like it, buy it!
I'm with you! If it lives on my property it will never be in my fridge or freezer (much to my hubby's dismay!)! I would love to have a dairy cow or goat! Ahh, maybe someday!
I would never eat meat if I had to look it in the eye first. EVER!
Nice find!
Pretty prints. Debi
What a nice picture. My sisters and niece raised pigs last year and it was very upsetting when they had to go to slaughter. Delicious pork though!!
It's lovely, I would have bought it too. And Jersey milk is the best!
Awesome find, Karen. I probably wouldn't have bought it, and regretted it later.
I did find a Mikasa porcelain basket with violets on it today for $2.00. Damn near killed me to pay that. 🙂
C'mon Karen….You really DID need it! Ha!
It's a beautiful print! Jersey's are so easy to milk; I can remember milking with Aunt Bonnie…leaning against one of her cows
breath frosty
warm flank
cud chewing
milk streaming
bossy bliss!
Love your music, makes me want to dance in happy time.
If we only bought stuff we 'needed' we'd be so sad!
I adore the little princess tiara Bessy is wearing.
Need? What does need have to do with it? LOL At least that's what I tell myself when I fall in love with something as adorable as this.

Jersey cow, yes I agree and who cares if you needed it or not, clearly it belonged to you!!
What a find! Jerseys are the cocker spaniels of cows…look at that face!
Me either! I could never, ever eat anything that I cared for.
I have been a vegetarian since college. Nothing with a face 🙂
The first time I went to Paris I was horrified that "Cheval" (horse meat) was on every menu. OMG.
Slowly over the years it is leaving many menus there. Thank God!
Boy, I really go off track!!!
I love the sweet cow. She has the eyes of really good friend 🙂 And yes. You needed that!
xo, misha
Love this! It looks like an engraving! I am attracted more and more to engravings and lithographs–and have discovered a great shop in town that carries what I love – Park Hill Interiors in the Historic Hillcrest area of our town.
My son-in-law just sold off all his Red Angus cows–yes, they were meat cows and my daughter said she could not eat anything she had helped take care of! Plus, they were terrible escape artists!
Hi Karen, love your blog! Do you have the old photographic history of our town? if so check out page 111. I knew I had a feeling of deja vu when i saw your print. She is even on your street! Check it out
