A 12-foot-4-inch-tall, roughly 16-foot-long fiberglass bull statue outside Bray's Smokehouse, 1500 S Brahma Blvd, Kingsville, Texas. The statue was a fixture at a Sirloin Stockade location on the same street for nearly three decades before that restaurant closed; it then spent about four years in a field in Floresville, used to advertise cattle for sale at a ranch, before owner Justin Bray bargained for it and brought it back to Kingsville to promote his new barbecue restaurant. Its return drew significant local social-media attention.
