Bray's Smokehouse Cow (Former Sirloin Stockade)

KINGSVILLE, Texas — Holy cow! Have you 'herd'? There's a familiar icon back in Kingsville and it 'udder'ly screams Texas! The 'cow' as it's known to locals was a fixture in Kingsville, Texas, for nearly three decades until it was removed with the departure of Sirloin Stockade on South Brahma Boulevard. After four years, it is back and helping promote a brand new barbecue joint called Bray's Smokehouse. "This was a real landmark in Kingsville," Mayor Sam Fugate said. "We knew to bring it back; people would be excited to see him home." The cow's new owner, Justin Bray, who also owns the new Bray's Smokehouse, said the iconic cow has been in Floresville all this time and sitting in a field out to pasture. It was being used to advertise some cattle that were for sale at a cattle ranch. Bray said he was able to bargain for the larger than life cow and bring him back. Excerpt from KIII news article
