It's a tradition that Princess Kay of the Milky Way and her court have their likenesses carved into butter at each year's Minnesota State Fair. Linda Christensen has been sculpting the dairy princesses in butter for over 30 years. This video is from the 2006 Great Minnesota Get Together.

  • It takes about 8 hours. I had mine carved in 2003. Its still sitting in my freezer, I'll be displaying it in my wedding.

  • That is so great! What a wacky memory that must be.

  • I didn't win "Princess Kay" itself, but I was one of the 12 finalists. I won in 2003. Actually I just got married and displayed my butterhead at my wedding.

  • Check out my video "rickidouglas" in the Youtube search engine.

    It's a song written especially for Princess Kay and her court. It's called Carve Me up Butterhead, a parody of Build Me up Buttercup!

  • Some Princess Kay's have had their butterheads melted into blocks and donated to local food shelves.

  • The cows in question produce more than enough milk to feed a calf. Some dairies do feed pasturized milk from cows to calves, others use milk replacer, but all cows and calves are well care for.

  • I dunno if I should agree or not, it looks fun, at the same time I feel sorry for the cow who was gonna give that milk to her calf...

  • This is not wasted, in fact I had my head carved at the Minnesota State Fair as a Princess Kay Finalist in 2002....we were able to take all of the scraps home with us in pails and each of us were also able to take our butterheads home to share with our families at the end of the state fair.

  • So did u win this pagent or are u joking?

  • its no waste its kool and AMAZING i went to it this year
