Dairy Capital of Canada
Taking a photo with the Springbank Snow Countess has become a tradition for visitors to Woodstock.
The Springbank Snow Countess monument is a life-size statue of a famous Holstein-Friesian cow. The cow broke the world record for butterfat production in 1933 and held it for 21 years. The statue was unveiled in 1937.
Springbank Farm was known worldwide for its cattle breeding program, so the Snow Countess statue is on her original farm site.
Woodstock is the seat of Oxford County, known as the Dairy Capital of Canada.
