Title: Nascow Stockyard Race Cow
Location: Kansas City, Kansas Courthouse
Artist: Charlie Prodrebarac
Sponsor: Kansas City Star

Look out Jeff Gordon and Rusty Wallace; here comes Nascow Stockyard Racecow around the outside turn at 200 miles per hour. According to Prodrebarac, “The idea of Nascow Stockyard Racecow came from the rising popularity of stockcar racing and the impending opening of the Kansas Motor Speedway. My ‘Nascow Stockyard Racecow’ straps on a helmet and rolls down the plain with aerodynamic efficiency proclaiming that cows are “number one!”

Charlie Prodrebarac was born in Kansas City, Kansas, where he began his cartooning career drawing nuns in grade school. Mr. Prodrebarac is the creator of the humor panel called “Cowtown” for the Kansas City Star, which was followed by two collections, Cowtown and Night of the Living Bar-B-Q. His cartoons have been published in magazines such as Business Law Today, Playboy, and Veterinary Medicine. He has produced hundreds of greeting cards and calendars for companies including Hallmark, Current, Paramount and Gibson Greetings.

This cow was sold in the internet auction hosted by Amazon.com that began on October 5, 2001, immediately following the close of the live auction and ran for approximately three weeks.
