President Taft's Cow, Pauline Wayne
President Taft's Cow, Pauline Wayne, on the Lawn of the State, War, and Navy Building ca. 1909. Previous cows served primarily as milk producers at the Executive Mansion, but Pauline was adored beyond her role as a dairy source. She shared the White House stables with Taft’s presidential carriage horses, as well as the White House’s first fleet of cars.
