Description
- This impressive 80-foot mural at McCarty Family Farms in Rexford, Kansas, marks the Judy McCarty Dairy Learning Center entrance and beautifully honors the McCarty Family. Rich in familial tributes, the four Holsteins represent the four McCarty brothers, while eleven sunflowers represent the eleven grandchildren. The red barn evokes their Pennsylvania roots, where their journey began, and the ear tags' numbers correspond to the zip codes of their various dairy farm locations. Created by Audrey Sayles and Staci Beauford of Some Girls and a Mural, this artwork beautifully encapsulates the McCarty family legacy.
