Trivia: President William Howard Taft kept which barnyard animal as a pet?
Rooster
Horse
Cow
Duck
The correct answer is Cow
So why is this answer correct? : President William Howard Taft kept multiple cows at the White House during his term from 1909 to 1913. In 1910, he received Pauline Wayne as a gift from a Wisconsin senator to replace his last cow, Mooly Wooly. Though Pauline was mainly kept for her dairy production — reportedly 25 pounds of butter a week and 9 gallons of milk a day — she also became popular in the media, and was even interviewed by “The Washington Post.”
