This sculpture, acquired under the Wisconsin Arts Board's Percent for Art Program, was installed next to the Swine Teaching and Research Facility, which burned to the ground in 1995, but the sculpture survived. When the building was razed to prepare for rebuilding, the sculpture was cut from its mounts and stored in a nearby barn for three years. The sculpture was treated in 2000 and reinstalled.
