Lone Star and Lady Star
An unused post card - made by Cardy-Lundmark Co., Chicago, U.S.A.
LONE STAR AND LADY STAR
LONE STAR is the largest milk cow in the world. Raised on the J-J Ranch of South Texas, her mother was a little Jersey weighing 530 pounds and her father of the Sacred Brahma breed of India ( a medium weight cattle). She is 11 years old, weighs approximately 3005 pounds, and stands 6 ft. 2 in. tall, abnormal in size, but normal in every other way. Standing alongside is LADY STAR, no relation, but a constant and adoring companion of LONE STAR. Believed to be the smallest perfectly formed cow in the world, she weighs but 206 pounds, stands 36 inches in height, and is 3 years old.
$500.00 reward is offered for proof of a living cow as large in every way as LONE STAR.

All of it was right there on the back of the card! I just wish that it had been mailed.

I incorporated a Lone Star postcard in a collage, “She rolled his feed up in flour tortillas,” to explain the cow’s enormous size. Go to: www.postcardsfromsanantonio.com/longhorns.htm.

Interesting to see another photo of Miss Jeanne Maulsby’s cow. I have a postcard picturing her with the cow and her manager on the front. Just thinking this one would really go with the collection. This card also offers the same $500 reward.
