On the face of the cheese is moulded a typical milk cow, represented as being in clover with a milkmaid by her side, sitting on a stool, engaged in milking. To make this cheese required 35,000 pounds of milk, a car load and a half, one milking from 3,000 ordinary cows. The milk out of which this cheese was made was purchased from 150 dairymen. It is seven feet in diameter and was put into the case where it is now on exhibition in the original hoop in which it was pressed. This case is made exactly the same as the butter case, and the temperature is held at about 35 to 40 degrees. For classified list of prizes on butter and cheese see list of awards on another page.
