I'm not keen on the artwork/painting.... I'd prefer them all in solid colours... nice though.... baaaa

Milton Keynes have concrete cows, Shrewsbury Metal sheep i'm sure it will excite all the 'rednecks' visiting Teccos. Shame the designer was not local though

Im really disapointed that they didnt use a local artist.

There was an open competition which a local artist - Ivan Williams - was a finalist but he didn't win the public vote.
BTW the public vote was a cardboard box at the back of the store where you posted your votes - no checking / validation so one person could have voted 50 times if they so wanted. Not a very robust process to decide a £50,000 art commission (which is how much the sheep cost).

At least it was a better result than what we got in the Mardol. <_<
