Kadie the Cow of Columbus

Kadie the Cow of Columbus is located outside a Best Buy on Manchester Expressway in Columbus, Georgia and is approximately two hours from Atlanta. For many years Kadie stood on a hill outside the Kinnett Dairies overlooking a shopping mall. However, the dairies were torn down in the early 2000s and have since been replaced by Best Buy, but the cow remains.

Kadie is a black and white fiberglass cow and is about 20 feet tall and has been a landmark for the area and very popular with passers-by. In 2003 a three foot tall calf was placed next to the cow, which was named Bebe after a naming contest held by Best Buy. Some visitors with children like to stop in the Best Buy parking lot and have their photo taken next to the giant statue and her calf.

Having stopped at the cow statue visitors may want to see some other attractions in Columbus such as the quirky Lunch Box Museum at the River Market and Antiques Center. The Coca-Cola Museum is also nearby and is the house where the inventor launched the popular drink. A nice place to take a walk and enjoy a picnic is the Riverwalk along the banks of the Chattahoochee River.
