A local landmark
Ms. Claybelt
Ms. Claybelt is the giant Holstein that greets visitors at the junction of Highways 11 and 65 in New Liskeard, standing beside the Little Claybelt Homesteaders Museum, the Chamber of Commerce, and the tourist information centre. In the early 1980s the Township of Dymond commissioned a larger-than-life cow to salute the agricultural base of the township. Mid-Canada Fiberglass, the local firm of Gerald Shepherdson, built the statue: 12 feet high and 18 feet long, scaled from a small Holstein model. She was unveiled in June 1984 and remains a landmark for the dairy and farming heritage of the Little Claybelt.
