Cattle show Walzenhausen

To the delight of the numerous spectators lining the Buchenstrasse, individual farmers parade in the traditional Sennisch style, i.e. in the same order as for the Alpabzug and in the appropriate traditional costume of yellow pants with a red breast cloth or the traditional costume for working days outside of Rhodes. Everyone enters the area under a wooden triumphal arch decorated with pine branches, 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. They judge the animals according to their beauty and performance and rank them in the correct order. The most beautiful animals are decorated with a wreath of paper flowers. Young breeders are also allowed to take part in many shows and exhibit their goats.
