When Mr Monkey heard that a Cow Parade was coming to Manchester he had fears of cumbersome bovine beasts blundering through the streets, wreaking havoc. When further investigation revealed the cows involved were artistic fibreglass creations, he became more interested and decided to see them all, or, at least, as many of the 154 of them as he could.
Mr Monkey couldn't visit all the cows in one go, so these pages will be updated as more cows are spotted.
You can get full details of Mancunian cows at the Manchester Cow Parade website, and of Cow Parades around the world at the Cow Parade website.
