Our cow Freedom was the first cow in the Herd and is the start of the Herd of Cows? trail. Freedom represents our purpose of creating freedom in peoples life's and business.
She is an abstract design, using our brand colours, to demonstrate and reflect our core values.
The original paint work on Freedom (2015) has been completely redone by Artist Vicki Carruthers.
As a painter and sculptor I seek to express permanent and transient qualities of landscapes in paint and stone, taking inspiration from landscapes with energy, colour and strong form. I approached the cow in the same way – capturing activities to be recognisable but with spontaneity and using the cow’s shape to enhance or link the elements. I have painted and sculpted for over 25 years.

CooperAitken is dedicated to supporting the local communities where we are based – Morrinsville, Matamata and Thames and when the Herd of Cow opportunity arose we were delighted to become the naming and founding sponsor. Supporting this project was a thank you to the local community, as we celebrated 100 years of providing Morrinsville with accounting services in 2014.
