The proceeds of book sales goes to the Sonoma County Community Foundation.  Also check out second volume Wholly Cow II by Anne Vernon 2010; 40 years of Clo, The Cow.  Every Petaluman should have these books on their coffee tables – as they are great talking pieces.  You can click on the book titles above to purchase them on Amazon.
