You'll View Cattle In A New Light When You See How Much This One Loves To Swim


Apparently everything I thought I knew about cows is a lie. Because not only does this bovine buddy know how to jump into the water, he absolutely loves it. So much so that swimming is his favorite pastime…just watch!

I wonder if he enjoys a good banana boat ride every once in a while, too?



When These Girls Start Singing, Their Cows Do Something So Hilarious


Some animal lovers are called horse whisperers for their ability to take care of the majestic, four-legged farm animals. Others are dog whisperers, who bring their animal-taming talents to man’s best friend.


Today, however, you’ll learn about a group of girls that can legitimately be called cow whisperers. What they get these beautiful bovines to do with the simple sound of their voices is nothing short of beautiful. Prepare to be enchanted!





These women have such splendid voices that I can’t help but be drawn to them as well. It’s simply incredible how they’re able to communicate with these lovely animals!



Instead Of Putting This Cow Down, Some Farmers Went Above And Beyond To Save Him


Growing up, Duke the bullock cow had a big problem with bullies. In fact, the other cows were so bad and so aggressive that the poor guy lost the ability to walk on his own.


But even though that kind of injury usually spells the end of the line for farm animals, a family in North Yorkshire, England, saved him from that grim fate and brought the sweet boy to the Calf Sanctuary.




Run by Sharon Lawler, the sanctuary helps Duke and other cuties like him who would have otherwise been put down instead of given assistance.







You can usually find him hanging out with this little guy, his best friend and cuddle buddy, Kevin.







He also likes to tease his human sister, Storm, and spook her — just like any big brother!







Lawler and her husband worked for months on ways to give Duke’s hind legs a boost and help rebuild his strength.







It took a lot of trial and error before finding a solution that wouldn’t result in more wounds from the straps rubbing against him.







After several donations, they were finally able to afford this customized wheelchair to help him move around.







As soon as they strapped him in, the little rascal started chasing Lawler around and demanding grass treats quicker than she could pull them up!







He still has a long road of recovery and physical therapy in front of him, but his new wheels will definitely help him over any bumps along the way.






Of course, new ride aside, it’s the love of his new family that will help Duke go the distance. Lawler spends as much time as she can with the cutie, massaging his muscles, giving him medication, and working with him to stand on his own. Thank goodness she was there to give Duke the happy life he deserves.


You can keep up with his recovery and find more adorable pics over on his Facebook page.

A Lost Little Seal Was Found Far From Home By A Herd Of 30 Cows


No one knows how five-day-old seal Celebration became stuck in a muddy field among 30 cows, but she’s lucky to be alive. The adorable creature was found by a nearby birdwatcher in Lincolnshire, England, and is currently on the path to recovery after rescuers discovered she was vastly underweight. However, her story could have gone a lot worse, and she’ll hopefully make it back to the wild someday soon.




Watch the cute pup’s path to recovery below.




I bet Celebration is going to miss her many cow friends, but she’ll be more than thankful to get back into the water. Let’s just hope she doesn’t get lost again!

A Cow Gave Birth To A Perfectly Happy, Two Headed Calf The Other Day



When you work on a farm your whole life like Carolyn Crews, all the cows and sheep that cross your path start looking the same. But the Florida farmer recently met one calf that was a little more distinct than her brothers and sisters.


Maybe I should say two calves, since baby Annabelle has two heads. Watch as Carolyn feeds both Anna and Belle in the video below.



Annabelle’s head is a little too heavy for her body, so she can’t get up and feed from her mother just yet. That means it’s up to Carolyn to make her strong. The likelihood of a cow giving birth to a two-headed calf is one in 400 million, so let’s hope the farmer cherishes this little anomaly. From the looks of it, she definitely does.
