...beauties from Germany!

Guten tag! Und how are you today? Alles ist in ordenung? Das ist gut! Und vunce you have some kaffe in your mug und a nice pastry to munch on, I shall tell you all about those beauties from the Fatherland, ja?

Americans/Canadians/Aussies/Brits all stage dog shows, and Middle-Easterners stage camel beauty contests, (I'm going to have to cover the camel beauty contests in a separate post) and in June, the annual German Holstein Show took over the city of Oldenburg, with the two-day event won by "Loh Nastygirl," topping bovine beauties from Germany, Luxembourg and Austria. 

The event is also a showcase for the cow hairdressers, who trim cows' leg and belly hair (to better display their veins). Said one dresser, "It is just like with us people -- primping helps." Groomed or not, cows with powerful legs, bulging udders and a strong bone structure are the favorites.

With all those bovines it must have been udder confusion for the judges!

See ya, eh!
