Braves' Chick-fil-A cow arrives at its new home, SunTrust Park

The Atlanta Braves' tomahawk chopping Chick-fil-A cow is home ... again.

The 18,000-pound cow — a prominent part of the Atlanta-area Chick-fil-A franchisees' campaign to urge people to eat more chicken rather than beef — was removed last month from Turner Field by crane and trucked to a New Orleans studio for refurbishing.

The 40-foot-tall, fiberglass-and-steel cow arrived wrapped at its new home in SunTrust Park this weekend. It got a new paint job. The statue's handpainted placard, will be replaced by a new digital signboard.

The cow will no longer do the chop. The arm that has done a slow version of the tomahawk chop at Turner Field for years was immobilized by the makeover.
