The swiss queen of cows
The end of june gives a concert of mooing and cowbells - endless strident chimes - which wakes up the innocent traveler at dawn.
It is called the "'inalpe", the day that hundreds of cows walk to the mountain pastures.
Their are all "Herens", the breed with the particularity to have the coat plain brown.
They also wear a beutiful leather collar nailed up with golden nails, from were the huge bell is bancing.
