City of Cerritos
Name the Cow Contest

The City of Cerritos invites you to help name the cow featured in Milking Time - A Tribute to Dairy Valley, a new public artwork by nationally acclaimed sculptor Jane DeDecker. This series of bronze sculptures will include a farmer, his son and daughter, the family dog, and—of course—the cow, reflecting Cerritos' agricultural roots and the enduring values of family and community. The sculptures will be installed at the Cerritos Civic Center to celebrate the City's 70th anniversary in 2026.

To choose the perfect name, the City will select up to 10 finalists. Then, the community will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite. The person who submits the winning name will be recognized at a City Council meeting and awarded City keepsakes.
About Our Cow

She was born in Dairy Valley, California, and remembered for her gentle nature. A devoted mother to two playful calves, she loved spending time in the fields—grazing with her friends, roaming the pasture, and basking in the sunshine. Treasured by the farmer's family, she was especially loved by the children, who often brought her crisp apples and fresh carrots as treats.
