What if you woke up one day with a herd of cows outside your front door?
On the 18th July 2005, in the early hours of the morning, 5 cows, 5 calves, 3 stockmen and a milking parlour arrived in Toxteth. They remained for 9 days and cows grazed in various vacant sites in Toxteth.

The COW the udder way project focused on Liverpool and effects of ‘shrinkage’ on the inner city areas of Toxteth. Through engagement with the public, the performance/event created a platform for debate on how derelict or neglected land could be used in the future, and suggested urban agriculture as one way of appropriating these spaces.

The event recieved great interest from the local press, radio and television. Documentation from the event has also been exhibited globally as part of the Shrinking Cities Exhibition tour.
