Have you seen a colorful cow around the city lately?

Allow us to explain: 75 one-of-a-kind cow sculptures are currently displayed throughout Greater Boston to celebrate the Jimmy Fund’s 75th anniversary.

Now here’s the great MOOs. You could own one (or more) of these show-stopping cows. The sculptures are up for auction, with proceeds benefiting the lifesaving mission of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute . Cows will be released in herds every Monday from 6–9 p.m. through Monday, Aug. 28.

Designed and painted by New England artists, these beautiful bovines are part of CowParade New England presented by Herb Chambers — a public art event featuring life-sized cow sculptures that are placed throughout Greater Boston for all to enjoy.

Here are a few fun and funky cows that caught our attention:
