More 'girls' will be joining the herd on the streets of Morrinsville, including a new mega-cow -- all new arrivals in the town’s Herd of Cows street art project.
The huge bovine effigy was trucked to Morrinsville for painting; the unveiling date remains a secret.
The ‘girls’ are a big hit, prompting the project committee to proceed to stage three -- a bigger herd. Local businesses and individuals are all in favour.
The enlarged herd will be located so as to highlight other places of interest -- parks, schools, walkways, etc.
