First of all, this thing is great and absolutely worth the price if youre thinking of getting it. We bought ours last year for halloween and it held up really well even in a southern United States fall which is very changeable (everything from wind to rain to cold to 85 degree temperatures). Yes, you have to buy the cow separately. Just do it. It absolutely completes the look. We kinda rigged up ours with some fishing line but it was too thick and we had to keep crawling inside the thing to adjust. We’ll do better this year.The only thing we didnt think of at all until about 20seconds into excitedly inflating it the first time, is this thing absolutely looks like a certain portion of the male anatomy when its inflating. Again, it looks great when its done, very cool, but be aware it looks a little scandalous until its done. Also, opening the bottom zipper to say, adjust your inflatable cow thats not quite in the right position, releases most of the air and returns it to a partially flaccid state leaving you standing there wrestling with a large object of questionable decency in front of god, little timmy and the entire HOA’s doorbell cameras. 9ft Halloween Inflatable UFO with Animated Lights
