I have just painted up a pack of 20mm cows, however none of them have udders, and the lack of an appreciable appendage between their rear legs would suggest they are Bullocks.

While most of this forum agree that Pendrakens figures are the dogs bullocks, do you have any cows with udders in 20mm scale ?   or do they just have minibits?   :)

I'd never actually noticed myself!  I'm wondering if I need to go and check whether our horses are male or not...

Yes of course we did Ian.  You correct us when somebody wants to use the wrong mark of tank.  We need to know we have the correct mark of cow!!

I have some dead cows in 20mm for Normandy (yes they are painted as the Normadie breed). These are most definitely cows as they have udders.

I wanted some live cow models  to put in the field with them.  Cows are usually kept as dairy or beef herds, not mixed herds. Dairy cows (like the dead models) have udders. Beef cows (like the bullocks) have no udders and relatively small appendages due to being castrated as a calf.

Now you wish you had never asked !!

*cough, cough* We appear to have moooved away from the subject matter, gentlemen (again).

What worries me is that with the eye candy of loads of beautifully painted and/or detailed miniatures and terrain to behold on the table, Orcs eyes focused on the nether parts of a cow/bull.   ;)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

IF....Sir wants me to add 'bits' to some metal masters....I will.

I am NOT making 'stick on' udders.

I thought that "5th leg" that we often snip off WAS the conversion kit.
