One of our Milking Coos (Daisy - a beautiful black & white speciman) is appearing on Fern Britton`s Five O`Clock Show on the 13th July, on Channel 4 in a effort to assist Fern in learning the finer points in the Art of Milking ... Alistair Campbell & Diana Vickers also appearing on show (but obviously not headlining like the Coo) and may be asked to milk it ... so should be no problem for Alistair there!
Welcome to HORN IMPORTS, the only company in the UK that supplies a variety of realisticlife size model plastic animals including bulls, cows, deer, sheep, goats, giant strawberries, milking cows, horses, pigs and calves.
They are all extremely accurate models; true to life in size and scale - including the strawberry which is five feet high....
If you are in any doubt just how real these plastic animals appear ... take a look in the fields next time you are passing the cows in the meadows, the sheep in the corn....or maybe if you are going down to the woods....you never know; some of these may be our models.
Without stating the obvious, the cow on the right is outstanding in her field. The cattle behind her are real and only acting as model cows.
All these life-size animal models can be customised; according to your requirements.
This may involve our artist undertaking a client`s creative brief by painting an animal a different design.
Alternatively you may wish to make alterations to the bodywork for a specific design or purpose. Our fully functioning milking cow model is probably our best example of this to date.
Our best selling animal is the fully functioning milking cow; models of which can now be found all over the UK, Europe & North America. The popularity of these interactive bovines can be gauged by the queues which form whenever milking time draws near. Curiosity ensures a steady supply of volunteers to milk these cattle; including a growing number of well known public figures.
Obviously recognising the added credibility that being spotted milking these cows has to their reputations, we have found a steady stream of celebrities standing patiently in line, with paparazzi in tow..
Northern Ireland First Minister, Dr Ian Paisley is on our growing list of Celebrity milkers, after he effortlessly took to the task of milking Daisy the Dale Farm Milker at Balmoral Show in 2007.
The Irish Dairyman`s top publication; United News; reported : "Daisy the Dale Farm Cow proved a major hit, particularly with the younger visitors to the Stand."

(Series 5 Episode 8)
Our best selling light weight hunter horse model appeared on the popular BBC TV Show, Dragons Den. The programme provides the opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to pitch for investment from five of the country`s top venture capitalists.
A lady called Aline accompanied "Charlie the Horse", looking to obtain funds to develop a pad that fits under the saddle. She reckoned it would take the equine world by storm.
Unfortunately, although the Dragons were impressed by the handsome 16.2hh model horse, they were not convinced about the limpet pad, and Aline rode out of the Den....and into the sunset ...with nothing...
