"Scottish Angus Cow and Calf," by Dan Ostermiller

There's something downright lovable about the "Scottish Angus Cow and Calf," the massive bovine bronzes that reside on the south side of the new Hamilton Building. They're not as obvious as "Big Sweep," the giant ode to housekeeping at the museum's entrance -- but that's half the fun. The cow and calf seem happy grazing far from the limelight, as if there's nothing they'd prefer to do than lounge unobtrusively on the grass and let little kids scramble all over their hides. Their gentle, organic presence is the perfect complement to the hard lines of Daniel Libeskind's architecture -- and a stylistic reminder that Denver will always be the cowtown we love.

I love the idea of continuing to further your history. Scottish Angus are one of the foundations of our cattle industry and certainly lay the foundation of the cattle of the future. Their feed efficient structure certainly plays right into ridding ourselves of the feed and fuel problems of the day.
