This would have to be the first time I have ever heard of bovine grooming, but it is all the craze in the Iowa show cow circuit, again another thing that I am not too familiar with, but who am I to balk?

The Seattle PI gives us a little back story noting that it all started with a photo of a male cow named Texas Tornado who had a particularly fluffy coat. "Fluffy cow" photos are now making the rounds.

The practice is meant to help sell livestock for breeding or harvesting.

The cattle go through a beauty pageant regiment: They're washed, brushed and blow dried. Special oils add an extra fluff. It is important to note that some of us might call this practice seasoning, but again who am I?



The bull's owner, Matt Lautner of Lautner Farms in Iowa, helps raise many fluffy cows. He's using social media to run with the overwhelming response, and hopes it brings more attention to the industry.

It is apparent why California cows are so happy, it is solely based on the fact that they are fortunate enough to not look like overgrown poodles.
