| Not fluffy |
Fluffy cows are actually beef bulls fluffed up for the show ring. When I first saw them taking over the Interwebs I didn't get it, because beef show "club" calves have looked that way forever.
However I guess only folks who read beef magazines or go to shows have seen them before. Kind of a western thing. I have always read trade magazines, even before I was a farmer, because my uncle was a farmer and I read them at their house, so I'm pretty used to them.
But they are cute.
For hairy cows that is. (Does all this hair make my butt look fat? Why yes it does and that is the point.)
Here's how to make one for your very own. Seriously, go check it out...it's all in the grooming.
