Sponsor a Cow
Each cow, or herd of cows, has a sponsor or patron. Corporations, community groups, individual merchants and private citizens can sponsor cows beginning at 8,500 Euros each. Sponsors will enjoy a range of benefits, but most importantly Ireland's business and community leaders can show support for Baileys CowParade Ireland and play a major part in the event's success. The cows come in three poses: standing, grazing and reclining and weigh approximately 100 pounds each. When installed in their exhibit locations, the cows will be attached to a 500 pound concrete base so as not to "walk away". Download a Sponsorship Opportunity Document.
