Fun! They did this in Cincinnati several years ago w/pigs (years ago Cincinnati was nicknamed "porkopolis"). They were all over the place - each one unique. What is neat now, several years later, is that you still see them here & there. They were auctioned off at the end of the summer so now when you see one it is kind of special - "hey look, it's one of the pigs!" There is one at my children's elementary school. Lots of fun!!

Anyone know if there is a website describing artists and locations - there was when they did the Boston cod thing.
My favorite is still in Washington, DC a few years back when they did "Party Animals" which was decorated donkeys and elephants.

Guess what Buffalo had all over the city a few years ago???
I remember the fish in New Orleans.
Really cool. A lot of local businesses, including my SIL's bought some of them and have them displayed.
Enjoy the cows!

There's HISTORY in 'them there' cows in Boston.
For those of you who are familiar with Beacon Hill, specifically Mount Vernon Street, you will notice that there is a row of one story "townhouses" on the side of Mount Vernon closest to Boston Commons. The reason for this involved deed restrictions in the 1700's that allowed those who built their mansions on the other side of Mount Vernon Street to be able to watch their "COWS" as they grazed on Boston Commons. (This tidbit from law school property class is easier to recollect than the Rule Against Perpetuities)!
