As a decorative pet, people usually keep dogs or cats. Of course, first of all we are talking about small animals that can be kept in a city apartment. But the owners of their own estates, who want to stand out from the crowd, may well have a decorative ... cow! And these animals are able to captivate with their appearance.
A plush cow is a breed bred on the ranch of the American state of Iowa, which is bred specifically for participation in exhibitions and sales to lovers of exotic. Hornless animals are completely covered with soft, as if plush to the touch, hairline, which is compared with the delicate hair of South American alpacas. They, too, are not like ordinary peasant cattle. The cost of a calf can reach several tens of thousands of dollars.
From time immemorial, the cow was the nurse of the village family. And today we are accustomed to consider it only as a source of milk and meat. But in vain. A plush cow is a breed whose popularity is gaining momentum among lovers of a cute, pretty and fluffy one. Calves are especially good, because as they grow, animals gain muscle mass and do not look so aesthetically pleasing. Their wool is unusually beautiful and very soft to the touch.
Breeds of cows with unusual hairline have long been known. For example, the Scottish alpine appeared in 1885 and became one of the symbols of the country. Animals of this breed are distinguished by a thick bang that covers their eyes, and their long coat allows them to withstand a harsh climate. And yet, a plush cow is unusual in its own way. She is the only one who not only has a body, but also has legs covered with a thick carpet of wool.
Despite the fact that this breed was bred in America, the honor of its discovery for the rest of the world belongs to the Japanese. Plush calves became famous after posting their photos on Japanese forums. As already mentioned, the Americans breed these cows not for milk and meat, but for beauty and participation in exhibitions. When evaluating animals, experts take into account not only the general standards of the breed, but also the characteristics of individual individuals. In recent years, the bulls Monopoly and

. Among the breeders there is a struggle to get calves from these producers. Nevertheless, today a plush cow is a breed that is not officially recognized. It is considered hybrid, because adult animals no longer look as spectacular as calves. Long hair remains, but does not seem plush anymore. Breeders do not lose hope of maintaining this feature in animals throughout their lives. Perhaps the day will come when they will receive the well-deserved recognition of experts.
In the meantime, a plush cow is a breed that attracts attention and causes tenderness for everyone who sees it. Charming calves and pulls stroking and hug. Kittens or little fennec foxes usually evoke the same feelings. Just look how cute the plush cow is. Photos do not convey all the charms of this breed, because they do not allow you to feel the softness of this magnificent thick coat. Children especially like animals.
