Special Edition Allgäuer Kuh

Oh, no.. im now in Germany...

Lovely model!

Would anyone happen to know if this will be back in stock anytime or is that it now? Or is it likely it will be released next year as a non exclusive? Really would like to have it for my farm!

Schkeich told this an exclusive model for Müller, but they didn't told me if it is available only for limited time or not, but I guess so. So if you wnat it for your collection, you have to be quick to get it, if you not want to pay the high prices on Ebay.

Been showing not available for the past 1 week now..... Not worth what ebay sellers are currently offering it at. Oh well..

Well if it was up to me all cows would be living in the mountains, without the bells. I mean of course they get used to them, but did someone ask them if they want them or not? I bet they'd prefer not to have them on their way.

My dear Jonas , you are the kindest person on earth. I am sure that if you could, you would take them all into your room when it is raining

But it is actually a question of all or nothing.  If they shall roam free, they need bells.
Anybody who has tried to find a run-away cow knows how far they can get in just a few hours, - imagine finding them in the huge, steep alps, if not some had a bell on.
The size of the bells also has a practical reason.
The larger the bell, the deeper the sound, and the herd and their cow-herd know the sound of their own cows'  bells, even if it is misty or dark.
A deep sound carries further, - I suppose that it depends on the landscape what is needed, but that is only my guess

Bells are for cows much better than a leach for a dog....or a cage for millions of single kept budgies and parrots in the homes of their"lovely"owners....

But when it comes to animals, most people do not have a senseof reality, because they do not know thee rare diffrences between humans and animals...."Oh my godness, the poor"Baby"hippo is sooooo lonely....."And what about the pooooor cows and pigs and chicken from the meat factories ? They are not lonely, of course, but It think, these are really very poor creaturs--but it is important to have every day cheap meat on the plate, isn't it ?

By the way-I'm vegetarian, because I feel Sorry for these creatures...but the poor cattle in the Allgäu with these terrible bells....

Looks great

A large bell makes more sound, and at a lower pitch. It is easier to hear a more gong like sound than little tinkling bells when at a distance. My grandpa used to use bells before he had fences for the cattle. He said eventually some of them got real smart and would lean against something with the bell in between so that it wouldn't make noise. I don't know if that's true or not, but it made a good story.

Klompenboertje, the festival is called Fête de la Transhumance. It was originally centered around the Aubrac breed of cattle, which look very similar to the figure.

Lije this one TOO
I Hope in The USA get this soon!

"Today's the Day, the sun is shinning, the tank is clean and we're getting out of here..."Yeah,today's the day-the Allgäuer Cow is available again and can be ordered online-mine is underway -She will be defenitely a nice addition to my Schleich cattle herd...

CONGRATULATIONS, dear Bongo

Bongo, If I sent you some paypal money, could you also pickup one for me and ship to UK? I didn't realise it was local pickup only :-(

Based on previous experience:
All "exclusive" figures from Schleich will be easily available to any part in the world, as long as you are patient.
Just look at the recent "exclusive for USA only" Angus and Hereford cow families.
They are easily purchased now from any online European shop.
I feel sorry for the people that did buy them from USA sellers and had to pay an extra $15 shipping fee or more...

Schleich wants your money, don't worry.

I'm pretty confident that if you have the discipline to wait a little longer, you can buy this pretty cow for a decent price any time soon in a shop nearby.
But if you want it in your greedy paws ASAP, than expect to pay the "exclusive" fee.

Thanks Simone, I will sit on my hands and wait to see

Hi is there anyone in germany who would be able to pick 1 up for me and send to the uk if i paypal the money first would really love to get 1 of these and the exclusive black bull if anyone can help out with either
thanks steve

I'm also interested in the exclusive Black Rodeo bull-I would exchange it for the Allgäuer Kuh. Anyone who is interested in that deal, please contact me by PM.

Hello AmyJD. I didn't see your post until now.  
I have purchased Schleich figures from this shop quite often.
They deliver fast and if you order for 30 euros or more, you don't have to pay shipping costs. (Just for the Netherlands!)
