This is Salem Sue, a massive bovine standing tall on the same hill New Salem proudly displays its town name. It certainly stands out and acts as a sort of guardian of the town, looking over it day in and day out.

This hefty heifer holds the title of the World’s Largest Holstein Cow and is even one of the largest structures in the state. Dakota Thunder, the massive bison statue in Jamestown, is even beat out by this large lady, who is over 10 feet taller.

You can drive right up to Salem Sue and experience her ginormous stature for yourself. She stands at a lofty 38 feet tall, 50 feet long, and weighs 12,000 pounds.

Salem Sue represents the local dairy farmers. Did you know the official beverage of the state of North Dakota is milk? The dairy farms in the state produce millions of gallons of milk every year.

When you’re at the top, you can look over the same view Salem Sue does. There is a trail up to the very tip of the hill with a great vantage point for seeing miles of farmland and prairie, and the town of New Salem itself.
