"Salem Sue"

  The World's Largest Holstein Cow has become a landmark for travelers across North Dakota. 

Visible for miles, and big enough to impress even the likes of Paul Bunyan, the fiberglass lady Holstein stands 38 feet high and 50 feet long on top of School Hill on the north edge of New Salem. 

A project of the New Salem Lions Club, Salem Sue was constructed in 1974, at a cost of $40,000.00 as a tribute to the area's dairy industry. 

The visitor to the Cow will not only be amazed at her size but will also be afforded a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside.
