Where else would you find a Purple Bull but in the Art District? 

 

I never saw a purple cow

I never hope to see one

But I can tell you

I'd rather see one than be one.

This sculpture is part of the Art on the Llano Project and installed by the Texas Department of Transportation.  Entitled "Purple Bull" by artist Jeffie Brewer, this longhorn has no distinguishing gender markings so the sex is subject to interpretation.  The purple cow replaces the black spare tire which was more BS than this sculpture which does represent the region.
