[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SpaceMouse</i> <br /><br />FYI, <br /> <br />I'm planning a cattle drive through Train City to the loading docks. Won't be a lot for forced perspective. (They don't sell off the bulls.) <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />You are correct about not having a chance for forced perspective. If I remember from the old "Rawhide" TV show cattle of all sizes were included in the drive. <br /> <br />As far as selling off the bulls my brother made that mistake when I turned my rabbits over to him. We kept up to 30 cows and only needed one bull to service them all. In larger herds the ratio is likely higher. Most of the male calves were altered at a few months of age so while not many "bulls" went to market about half of the cattle shipped had a Y chromosome. Most of the animals shipped were adolescent "yearlings" so external evidence of gender would be hardly noticeable. Way to much information. <br /> <br />I would be afraid of the cost of buying enough scale cattle to model even a small drive. You could probably buy a good locomotive for that money. Have you thought about casting your own?
