No woman would choose such frumpish ear-rings ...

Sweet! I really love their eyes.

But what are those things in their ears?

Diese Dinger sind Ohrmarken,auf einer ist der Besitzer und auf der anderen die Stammdaten vermerkt der Kuh vermerkt wenn mich nicht alles irrt.
These things are ear tags on one of the owners and is noted on the other hand, the master noted the cow if I'm not mistaken.
Sorry nur Googleübersetzung bin des Englisch nicht sehr mächtig..

Even cows need license plates if you are going to keep track of their pedigree, innoculations and stuff.
I knew there was cheese somewhere around here.

Julie: Based on experience, I would beg to disagree. :-)

Hilda: They do seem such gentle creatures, don't they, with their soft eyes.

And as ilcuoco has already explained, and Conch elaborated, the ear tags are IDs for the cows. The analog to the hot iron branding one sees in US cowboy movies.

Ilcuoco: Your message came through just fine. Es macht mir froh, dass du "mitliest" und kommentierst.

Conch: Milk, plenty of it. Cheese making, not so much around Villigen.
