I'm in need of some dirt cheap cows for 28mm. I'm guessing someone has found a toy cow somewhere that is the right size. This is a secondary project and I need a herd – call it 50, maybe more. Not looking to spring for metal at $5 USD a pop. Suggestions? |

farm animals in the toy section at your local 99 cent store. |

Pegasus Hobbies 1/48 – close enough for 28mm. Each box has about 5 or 6 cows, but also lots of pigs and other beasties. link |

Bags in toy stores of farm animals may give you what you need. You can still find them at garage sales and flea markets. It just takes some time and effort. |

What Wackmole9 said. Your best bet. |

Yeah, the 1/64 scale are option #1 even if they will be a wee short. The Pegasus box has 10 usable cows per box (2 each of 5 poses) so I'd need say 5 boxes. $35 USD and then I get loads of free other critters. Sounds like a win! |
