Cincinnati's runaway cow will go to a New York farm owned by artist Peter Max, who will donate paintings expected to fetch $180,000 to the Hamilton County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to help it expand.

        Robert H. Siegel, Mr. Max's lawyer in Cincinnati, said the artist will appear at the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade Monday along with the cow, and will receive the key to the city.

        After the cow undergoes state-required health tests, she will be sent to one of Mr. Max's animal sanctuaries, probably a 175-acre spread in Watkins Glen, N.Y.

        Mr. Max will endorse the sale of the paintings and return here when the SPCA is ready to sell them, Mr. Siegel said.

        “He'll bring a lot of high-powered buyers into town for an auction,” Mr. Meyer said of the pop artist, a supporter of animal welfare causes.

        The money will be used to take care of more animals and help pay for an expansion project, said Harold Dates, SPCA general manager.

        He said Mr. Max was impressed by “the tactful and caring way we handled the incident. The donation could be a wonderful help and gesture to animals in our area.”

        The Charolais escaped from a slaughterhouse last month and led a 12-day search. She will travel the parade route in a trailer.
