The Giant Purple Cow Head On A Post is an old commercial roadside attention-getter which crossed over into the world of quasi-pop-art folksy oddities, and has become such a local navigational landmark that it is now the namesake of nearby Purple Cow Road (SR 619). The whole was meant to lure customers to the Purple Cow ice cream eatery on site.
