Hey now that I have your attention. The other day I was in Micheals looking for some wire to make tow cables and I came across some farm animals such as cows, bulls, chikens and sheep just to name a few. They look pretty close to 1/35th scale or maybe they are 1/32nd scale. My question to you is this, a 1/35th scale man is 6ft. how big is a full grown bull or even a cow (holstein)? Does it even matter standing next to each other? These animal figures were the best looking farm animals I had seen in a long time. They were only $2.99 each. Much cheaper than Verlindens farm set.
Can anyone please help?

Having lived in Upper State NY for a goooood chunk'o my life I've seen a heffer or two.
They run between 5' and 5'5" at the shoulders. Chest high to a 6' man.

Bulls can get bigger, just watch OLN and you'll see a man on one just about every night.

That is very interesting. I just might have to check out my local Michaels for these animals

Also keep in mind if you have a Bomgaars farm store around they keep an excellent selection of small toy animals also. They run $2.99 and up. Cheers Kevin

I've seen a few heffers down here in MD too. Must be something in the water.

The difference between 1/35 and 1/32 is about 9%.Not a big deal with most people/animal match-ups.Just don't get the giant rooster look! :-) .I have a herd of sheep in a drawer for a down the road project.
cheers

I can identify a moo cow 2 out of 3 times if that helps :-) :-)
Also check at local toy store in the actual toy sections ie. Toys-R-US. You can find these here as well. "Q"
