That is not a farm on sawmill it is OSU Agricultural departments livestock
facility. 

The Cow Town Image is something we perpetuate ourselves because we all
complain that we have no night life or culture like other major cities.
Unless you like the meat market feel of the down town clubs then you are SOL
unless you drive to Cincy, Cleveland or hell even Dayton has a better and
more active culture and Night Life than Columbus.

In Columbus our night life consists of Gay Clubs, Meat market clubs and the
Gallery Hop nonsense one a month. 
Oh and OSU Football. Which I enjoy but jeez some people take that stuff to
seriously.

Thus we all wallow in our own self pity that our home is reminiscent of a
"Cow Towns Culture."

Even though a lot of family farmers are moving away from Cows to more
profitable ventures, even within the Columbus borders, you can still see
cow.

I think there's still a farm south of all the stores on Sawmill road.
Driving around on the OSU campus, you can see them there too, as Ohio State
is still one of the biggest Ag Colleges in the world. There's probably
other places too. County fairs and 4-h are very prominent as well, with the
grand championships being held at the Fair Grounds that are East of Campus.
Also, there are at least annual cow shows at the fairgrounds that I know
of... There's probably more. OSU has a pretty active Dairy Club as well.
And the rodeo is coming to Nationwide Arena on Saturday.

There's still a lot of cows around. Sorry about all the cow facts. My wife
grew up on a dairy farm, and I am still regularly forced to shed my city
clothes for dung squishers and overalls.

Why?

      I've only lived here about 7 years, but the only time I've heard
mention of cows is when some local TV news channel has a story about how
"Maybe [event X] or [opening of store Y] will finally help Columbus shake
it's cow-town image."

Driving around, I've seen way more sheep than cows around here, and not
many of those, even.

Have I been missing a big dairy farm or slaughterhouse somewhere?

(I'm only curious. I don't have a strong opinion about the logo...)
