Senator Chuck Grassley, a senior U.S. Senator from Iowa, posted several updates on his social media account highlighting notable livestock and attractions at an event in August 2025.

On August 8, 2025, Grassley shared details about a record-setting animal, stating: "This yr’s Super Bull weighs in at 3110 lbs".

The following day, on August 9, he continued to spotlight animals with another post: "The biggest boar from Monticello".

Later that same day, Grassley drew attention to a well-known attraction with the message: "The world famous Butter Cow [2025 version]".

Grassley's posts reference annual traditions at the Iowa State Fair, which is known for its agricultural showcases including competitions for the largest livestock and displays such as the Butter Cow sculpture. The fair is a significant cultural event in Iowa and often features participation from public officials and local communities.
