Buttercup Buttercup is the daughter of Elmer and Belinda. She shares her mother?s unusually broad horn span, she even has a similar hair-do but she is way bigger than her mother. She is, in fact, a huge cow. Until Belinda's decline, Buttercup did not appear to aspire to her mother?s leadership position. She was a polite, middle-of-the-herd kind of cow. Over the past years, however, she has grown in dominance. She does not have everyone's respect as Belinda did during most of her reign, but she does appear to be consolidating power and no one ever questions her position at the trough. Her birthday is April 23, 1995. Her hobby is standing and eating.
