Hundwil cattle show

To the delight of the numerous spectators standing on the main road in front of the Krone restaurant or the Oertle bakery in Hundwil, some of the farmers parade in the traditional Sennisch style, i.e. in the tried and tested order of the Alpabzug and in the appropriate traditional costume of yellow pants with a red breast cloth or the traditional working day costume from outside Rhodes. On the stage, in Hundwil the Landsgemeindeplatz, everyone enters the area under a wooden triumphal arch decorated with fir trigs, flowers and ribbons.

The cattle are tethered to long poles according to predetermined categories. The judging panel, consisting of experienced farmers, now begins its work.
