IS THERE no end to the artistic expression possible in a few bales of compressed grass?

Lindi Davis, from Lake Charm, sent in this picture of an unusual hay bale sculpture at Lake Charm on the Murray Valley highway near Kerang.

Bruce Cook, who runs Kaktus Point Charolais stud, built the hay bale sculpture on his farm depicting ... ahem ... well let’s just say it’s what happens when a cow and bull are very much in love.

Bruce said he had seen other hay bale sculptures around and felt inspired to have a go himself using large square bales.

“We put it up Good Friday and on the Saturday cars and trucks were pulling up to have a look and take pictures. It’s become quite a tourist attraction.” Bruce said.

He said there had been a couple of complaints, but most thought it funny.

“It’s only natural. After all, that’s how we make little Charolais, ” he said.

In fact Bruce is working on some of those little Charolais as we speak — a couple of calves made from stuffed feed bags to add to the family.
