Pauline Wayne was a Holstein cow which belonged to William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States. Also known as "Miss Wayne", Pauline was not Tafts' first presidential cow: she replaced the lesser-known "Mooly Wooly", who was unable to provide milk for the First Family. Taft and his wife, Helen Herron Taft, had growing children; as well, Taft notoriously was a large eater. Accordingly, Mooly Wooly was replaced by Pauline Wayne. From 1910 to 1913, Miss Wayne freely grazed the White House lawn [1]. She was the last presidential cow to live at the White House and was considered as much a Taft family pet as she was livestock. When Taft left office, she was shipped to Wisconsin [2]. The origins of the name "Pauline Wayne" are unknown.
