#5 – #313 Blossom Figurine

Created by renowned Missouri artist Lowell Davis, *Blossom* was inspired by his own beloved Jersey cow and became one of the first six figurines produced in the celebrated Lowell Davis collection. When Scottish sculptors working from Davis’s original model remarked that the cow didn’t look like a Jersey, Davis famously replied, ”Well, it looks like a Missoura Jersey!” Decades later, that story makes this piece especially fitting as the Jersey community gathers in Missouri once again. This numbered figurine, No. 313, captures the gentle character and dairy strength that have made Jersey cattle a favorite of breeders for generations. From the bell around her neck to the salt block at her feet, every detail reflects Davis’s admiration for rural life and the cows that helped shape it. More than a collectible, “Blossom” is a tribute to the Jersey breed, Missouri heritage and the enduring bond between Jersey breeders and the cows they cherish. Whether displayed in a home, office or farm, this charming piece is sure to be a treasured conversation starter for years to come. Donated by the family of Duane and Pat Wickstrom, California
