Real-Life Alp Cows:
Alpine cows, such as the one represented by Darina, are iconic to the mountainous regions of Switzerland and other parts of Europe. Known for their sturdy build and ability to graze in high-altitude meadows, these cows play an important role in traditional Alpine farming. They are primarily used for dairy production, with their milk being used to create renowned Swiss cheeses like Gruyère and Emmental. Alpine cows are often depicted with large bells around their necks, a tradition that helps farmers locate their herds in the vast mountain pastures. These cows are well adapted to the rugged terrain and are valued for their calm temperament and hardiness.
