Ooh la la!

Lots of cows get the full-on spa experience before they get showed at local livestock shows and state fairs. Did you know that cow shows are a thing in the cattle industry? Well, technically they're steer shows since the majority of cows shown are male. But fluffy bulls doesn't sound as cute as fluffy cows, and the term "cow" has slowly become the colloquial name for all things moo.

So these are blow-dried cows, even though they're male.

 

In order to get high scores from judges, competitors from the 4-H Club and Future Farmers of America make sure their bovine looks their best before they lead them around the ring. Competitors shampoo, rinse, and blow dry their steers and cows (if it's a dairy show), and the result is pretty spectacular.

Take a look at these poof balls.

While, yes, these guys are being shown to be sold into the beef industry, it is still admirable that contestants in the shows spend such time primping their bovines.

Blow-dried cows are adorable to look at and soft to touch, but don't be naive about it!
