Cows may just be the cutest farm animals out there! Even when they are lumbering around eating grass, you can’t help but look at them and let out a chuckle. As we move away from the warm summer weather and into fall and winter, farm animals need to find ways to stay warm! For some farmers, the solution is hand-knitted clothing for their cows!

Check out these photos of cows wearing earmuffs!

Cows in earmuffs, you ask? Well, besides being incredibly cute, the earmuffs help protect their ears against frostbite since that is the most sensitive area of skin on their bodies.

Runway models have a special way they walk that gives them away. It’s more of a strut than anything. This cow seems to have gotten it down pat! It looks like it just walked the carpet and is striking a pose towards the camera. Maybe modeling is in its future!

Calves are the most vulnerable because their ears and noses are still wet! They are still so small that their bodies can’t keep as warm either.

“Calves are not fully capable of maintaining temperature the first several hours of life. Newborn calves have a circulatory system that is less able to respond to cold changes as compared to more mature animals.”

Frostbite is a serious issue for these little cows. The farmers really try their best to keep the cows as comfy as they can. This little fella has his own “special helmet” to keep his ears warm.

Detect frostbite early. Examine newborn calves carefully when conditions create a risk. If ear-tips are frozen, there is a significant risk that feet may be experiencing damage as well.

7. Retro-cow

This has to be my favorite color scheme so far! It reminds me of a retro-throwback windbreaker from decades ago. This little guy doesn’t know it, but he is styling right now. Not to mention how warm he is!

8. Patterns

This might be the “littlest” cow we have seen so far! It looks like it can barely even stand it is so little. Since newborns are the most susceptible to frostbite, its good to know that it has its own muffs to keep it toasty.

We all love a cute pic. These cow-muffs provided! Who knew that baby cows needed special clothes to stay warm?
