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.
1. Easter cow
Farm animals and easter just seem to go together, right? This little calf with its pink ear muffs is quite possibly the cutest thing you will see today! The little band in the front makes it look like it’s wearing a mask!
2. Professional protection
While the first one seemed hand-knitted, this one seems to be made professionally! Who knew that cow-muffs was such a booming business? This cow looks extra comfy with his on.
3. Styling and profilin’
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!
4. Grandmas finest
Remember all those random little things your grandma used to knit for you? This reminds me of that! Some farmer’s grandma spent hours knitting this to keep this little calf’s ears warm.
5. Just a sip
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.”
6. “His special helmet”
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 is the first example of someone getting spicy with the patterns! This little cow is extra cute with his Lone Star ear muffs. He seems to be one of the sheer cows, unlike some of his friends we have seen so far.
9. Barney!
If this cow isn’t named Barney, there was a serious opportunity missed! With the green and purple earmuffs and cute face, this little cow is practically begging to look like the famous Purple Dinosaur!
10. Extra little
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.
Conclusion:
We all love a cute pic. These cow-muffs provided! Who knew that baby cows needed special clothes to stay warm?
