While 2010 marks the beginning of a new decade, it also marks a momentous occasion for Hoard's Dairyman. On January 23, 1885, William Dempster Hoard launched the first edition of Hoard's Dairyman. This year, our 125th anniversary, we've asked world-renowned dairy artist Bonnie Mohr of Glencoe, Minn., to help us create an updated Foster Mothers of the Human Race painting. The original Foster Mothers print was created in 1957 followed by updates in 1963, 1991, and 1993 - all of which were painted by former Hoard's Dairyman Art Director James Baird.
You can follow along with Bonnie on Bonnie's Brush with Hoard's – our special edition blog - as she paints this piece during the coming months. We'll have plenty of video of Bonnie answering the questions you've always wanted to ask and we'll offer sneak peaks of how the painting is coming along. Visit the blog as often as you like, we'll update it each week!
