World Famous Minnie Moo dies at 15

Minnie Moo, the Holstein cow born with a large silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head and ears on her side, died recently at 15 years of age.

The average life span of a Holstein cow is 12 years.

Minnie Moo came to the Walt Disney World Resort from Minnesota in 1990. She lived for several years at Grandma Duck's Farm (now Goofy's Wiseacre Farm) at the Magic Kingdom Park and later moved to the Petting Farm at the Tri-Circlle D Rancing at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.

Millions of adults and children have visited Minnie Moo to see her tradmark silhouette.

A memorial plaque for Minnie Moo soon will be located in the trophy room adjacent to the barn at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

"Minnie Moo brought much joy to both our guests and our Cast Members," said Tom Hopkins, Animal Operations director for Animal Programs. "We will miss her greatly."
