UK Farm Offers Cow Cuddles to Cope with Climate Woes

  Facing relentless flooding and rising expenses, Dumble Farm in England has stopped selling milk and started an unexpected but therapeutic venture: cow cuddles. In 2022, the owners sold most of their dairy cows and began letting visitors spend time brushing, petting, and even hugging specially trained Highland cows for £95 per session.

  At Dumble Farm, only cows that are genuinely comfortable with human contact are selected. According to the owners, the cows have been gently trained for these sessions and seem to enjoy the interaction. To ensure the animals’ well-being, all sessions are suspended during extreme heat.
