Scottish Angus Cow and Calf Sculpture

Scottish Angus Cow and Calf is a bronze sculpture by American wildlife artist Dan Ostermiller, installed behind the Hamilton Building at the Denver Art Museum. The animals are cast three times life-size: the cow stands 13 feet tall and the calf 10 feet tall, in a lazy napping pose; the whole grouping spans roughly 38 x 22 ft and weighs about 10,000 lbs (5 tons). It was commissioned by Colorado rancher Leo Hindery to commemorate his own Scottish Angus herd and gifted to the Denver Art Museum in 2005. It is one of the most photographed public-art pieces in Denver.
