This bronze shows a life plus one quarter sized cow elk with her twin calves. To our knowlege is the only public bronze that features a cow elk insptead of the usual bull elk monuments. It is a  nod to the importance of the cows in the life of the herd. This particular casting is installed in a traffic roundabout in golden Colorado. In the fields to the left of the monument a resident elk herd can be seen much of the year.
