Now standing in Morrinsville is Incredibull (not named yet) with Allan Clark, owner of Morrinsville Super Shoppe, with his son Jacob who constructed the bull.

A Morrinsville business celebrating its 30th birthday has shaken up the street scene in the Waikato township.

A bull has taken up residence outside the business in a town where streets are dotted with cows made from fibreglass.

Morrinsville Auto Super Shoppe owner Allan Clark is celebrating thirty years of business in Morrinsville.

His son Jacob, who now works in the business, constructed the bull from sheet metal, cutting the shapes, then bending and welding to create the form.

After 200 names, the unnamed sculpture, which Rural News has named 'Incredibull', has a stance not unlike the bronze Bull of Wall Street.

Finishing with metallic bronze paint shows a multitude of colours in different light, giving life and attitude to the Bull of Super Shoppe Morrinsville for another thirty years.

The bull proudly joins a collection of life-size cow sculptures throughout the town showcasing the dairy history and heritage of Morrinsville.

Next time you're in Morrinsville, don't miss the Incredibull display!
