In 1982, at the initiative of Edmund Apolinarski, the then director of the breeding center, a decision was made to build a monument commemorating the bull Ilon.
The author of the concrete monument is Tomasz Bończa-Ozdowski.

The monument was erected in the place where a column commemorating the Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck had previously stood, which was dismantled in the 1960s.

Ilon was a bull (breeding bull) of the Holstein-Friesian breed.

His mother was brought from the United States to the breeding center in Osowa Sienia in the 1970s.
The bull Ilon was born in Osowa Sienia and became the first stud of this breed in Poland.
Thanks to his extraordinary productivity, the cattle breeding in Osowa Sień, managed by the State Agricultural Farm, grew stronger, which was a financial success and a symbol of high production of breeding material. Ilon became a real "star of the PRL".
