I've just posted a Normandy AAR with a decent amount of cow photos…I've received notice that my Normandy cattle are all wrong…well wrong colour… Does anyone actually know the right colour of a typical cow found in Normandy during the mid 40's. I have some black and whites but the majority are brown/whites… Now never accuse me of not starting interesting topics :)

@ Gray Panda. Your choice of colour was mis-steaken.
I think the udder photos show black & white. I don't want to milk it but:

Cows with red spots? Are those the panzergrwnadier cows tbat were converted frlm regular cows in 1942?
What does Glantz have to say about red spotted cows on the eastern front? |

@ochoin Your udderly ridiculus statement is an attempt at milking this serious topic for all its worth…but I'll be bigger than this…I'll just turn the udder cheek and mooo-ve on |

@ Petrov…don't be silly they obviously have the mizzles and I want it to be known that further attempts to mock me is futile; I've herd them all before and they just go in one ear and out the udder… |

11th thank you for the photos; it seems in the mid 40's they were all black and white :) The link was really helpful thanks |

Normande cattle (they are a specific breed) are white with blotches which are either black or chestnut brown. So white and brown cows are fine. |
| Jemima Fawr | 18 Dec 2013 3:39 p.m. PST |
As Martin says; black or red-brown speckly blotches. They were the same then as now and they are still very typical for the area. Yours look absolutely fine. You could mix in some black-splotched cows, but you're absolutely not wrong. |

I daresay that if you allow for grey pandas you should also be able to have any cow color you choose. |

You lot are making me churn |

We can keep this up until the cows come home. |

So you are saying you remain uncowed? |

Let me grab my jersey its friesland here! No serious they look fine to me. |
| Martin Rapier | 19 Dec 2013 4:18 a.m. PST |
Normande cows aren't Friesians, that would be very unpatriotic. |
| Zephyr1 | 19 Dec 2013 3:21 p.m. PST |
At least those cows aren't all that horny. That could have caused serious safety issues trying to handle them…. |

I don't envy the G.I. in one photo (actually 2 versions) using a dead cow for cover! I like your terrain, BTW, in the first photo. |
