Herisau cattle show
Overview
Intro
In the fall, when the farmers return from the Alps with their cows, the cattle shows take place in Appenzell Ausserrhoden. Prizes are awarded for the most beautiful and best performing cows.
To the delight of the numerous spectators lining the streets, some farmers drive to the show 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 working day costume from outside Rhodes. Others, however, drive their groomed and cleaned animals onto the stage with less effort. There, everyone enters the area under a wooden triumphal arch, which is decorated with fir branches, paper flowers and ribbons, with dairy crockery and quite often with a welcome message on a wreathed table. The cattle are tied to long poles according to predetermined categories. The judging panel, consisting of experienced farmers, now begins its work. They judge the animals according to their beauty and performance and place them in the correct order. Placing the animals can take well into the afternoon, as the differences are small, especially with the best breeding cows, and the work of the judges is correspondingly difficult.
The most beautiful animals are honored with a prize. The animals are then taken back to their farms.
In the evening, after the animals are back home in their stables, the farmers and their families meet in a pub for the show critique and prize-giving. This is followed by a down-to-earth celebration with singing, cheering and dancing.
