Miserable cow!

Written by 

Who would have predicted an attack on dairying in Morrinsville?

A precious member of Morrinsville’s Herd of Cows street art project has fallen victim to vandals. 

Number 13, the Greenlea Premier Meats cow (named ‘Rising to the Challenge’) usually hangs from a 5m pole like a helicopter.

Now she’s in the bovine hospital (Greenville Auto Painters) for urgent repair work. Stones thrown at the fibreglass cow have caused serious damage.

Repair work will take two weeks.
