Grooming Time with the Cows

August 4, 2024 by Ellen Brady-McGaughey

Check out today’s video to join in on a grooming session…with the cows! These lovely ladies often spend time grooming each other, and it is a wonderful moment when they invite us as their caregivers to join in. Meredith, Honey, and Betsy really love the scratching post that J.B. recently installed for them, but when there isn’t a scratching post around, a human with a brush will do just fine!

Betsy licks Caregiver Ellen

…And another one!

And one more, because Betsy is just so cute!

Betsy rests her head in Caregiver Ellen’s hand

Betsy’s tongue is incoming…

Another lick from Betsy! You can see the texture of her tongue here. Being licked by a cow feels a lot like being licked by a giant cat’s tongue!

Left to right Caregiver Ellen, Meredith, Honey, and Betsy

And last but not least, Caregiver Ellen gets a facial courtesy of Betsy Cow!
