Moo-La has stood in tribute to the local dairy industry at the center of the Erath County seat for 50 years. The late Joyce and Tom Whitis erected the beloved fiberglass bovine on September 23, 1972, in honor of the industry which has served as the bread and the butter for many area families. Local businesses and dairymen donated the funds to ship her here and construct her sign. On September 23, Moo-La turns 50.
Moo-La enjoyed a complete makeover donated by Hunter Body Works earlier this year. Upon completion in March, she was herded back downtown with a full police and fire escort.
