Title: Biotech Bovine
Location: Woodway and Loop 610: Southwest corner
Artist: Randy Yost
Michael Goodner
Sponsor: The Lowe Foundation

Biotech Bovine’s spots have been genetically re-engineered to read “COW”, preventing nearsighted hunters from killing her, aiding identification in the cattle yards, and helping country children to read. Biotech Bovine has been branded with a bar code for tracking by cowboys/geneticists using portable saddle scanners. In the words of the artists, “Sometimes you can create high impact just by visually setting yourself apart from the crowd by breaking the rules (this technique can make you very popular in school or get you thrown in prison!) Luck has a lot to do with it…”

Randy Yost has designed, manufactured, and installed custom one-of-a-kind flooring in projects worldwide for the last forty years. Artist Michael Goodner, using only simple tools, creates carvings, sculptures, paintings, and combinations of them, to fashion artistic representations of primitive cave dwelling art, tribal creations, Egyptian cultural displays of our ancestors.

This cow was sold in Flight 5 of the internet auction hosted by Amazon.com that ran from December 21 - 29, 2001.
