TRAVERSE CITY -- The third annual "Cow Fest" will take place this Sunday, June 10th.

The Colantha Walker Dairy Festival celebrates the life of Northern Michigan's most famous cow. Of the 96 Holstein-Friesian cows that comprised the former Traverse City State Hospital's herd, Colantha was the most famous. In 1926, she produced nearly 23,000 pounds of milk in a single year, making her the highest milk producer in the world.

Upon her death in 1932, a banquet was held in her honor. A tombstone was also placed at her gravesite near the south end of the Commons property.
