Grooming Time with the Cows
August 4, 2024 by Ellen -
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!

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

Have the chimps ever met the cows? Do they know what cows are?
Jamie likes to throw dirt at them when they’re moving through (captured in a recent video, I think, the Running of the Cows).
I’m curious to see what Cy thinks, since he can’t even witness them in books!
That’s so mean :rofl::rofl: but quite funny. the cows are adorable.
Honey cow and those lush eyelashes!! Lucky you, Ellen! The moo crew seems to enjoy your friendship and your superb grooming and scratching techniques. Especially Betsy! Your photos are fantastic. I love the sheer enjoyment on your face when you spend time with the cows.
Exactly what I noticed, her eyelashes….and it reminded me that my father always said that Jerseys were his favorites because of their eyes
Thats great footage Ellen. You are so lucky to have these sort of interactions. Everyone out here is blog land are so jealous !!
It seems to me that Betsy officially adopted you!:cow2::green_heart:
This video is the best movie of this Summer!
That top photo just cracks me up! They’re all gorgeous pictures and the video of you being thoroughly groomed by the ladies and giving scritches back was just beautiful. Just don’t tell Cy, you know what’ll happen…
Yes! Awesome eyelashes! Thank you for the close-ups of these expressve and affectionate beings!
