Our Cuddlers
Biscuit
Hello! I know, I know...I'm a total studmuffin. My name is Biscuit, and I'm a mini Highpark (Highland and White Park cross) steer calf born on 10/7/23. I hail from Pandarosa Ranch in Illinois - the same place Katie Van Slyke got her mini Highlands, so I'm a Midwest guy. I'm basically a big (little) pasture puppy that adores chin scratches, being loved on, giving love, and laying my head in cuddlers' laps. I am the literal definition of a cow hug and cuddle, so what are you waiting for?
VICES
Likes chewing on: shoelaces, hoodie strings, and long hair, or really anything that looks like it would be fun to gnaw on
TALENT
Can zip and unzip coats
Barley
***I'M CURRENTLY TAKING A LITTLE BREAK WHILE MY PARENTS GET MY ITCHY HORN TAKEN CARE OF***
There's cute and then there's OMG I'M DEAD FROM CUTE! I might fall under the latter definition. I'm Barley, a micro-mini Highland steer calf born in Illinois (at the same ranch Biscuit came from--Pandarosa) on 1/31/24. I LOVE chest rubs and will take as many of them as you can give me. No, seriously...why'd you stop? I've been known to pass out while you love on me, letting cuddlers get that full cow cuddling experience.
VICES
My dehorning didn't fully take, so my one teeny horn on the left side sometimes gets really itchy...and I like to itch it on people (I'm sorry!)
TALENT
When I snug, I snug HARD!!, as in I will MELT into cuddlers, and have been known to lay my head in their laps and curl around them in a cow-cuddler rendition of "Big Spoon, Little Spoon"
Peppermint
Hi everyone! I'm Peppermint, Lilly's heifer calf, born on December 16, 2023 at the farm, and I'm an Angus/Holstein and Brahma/Normande cross. I'm a silly, spunky, adorable little girl who could get mistaken for a reindeer at times--and I have ears for dayyyyyys! I'm the most interactive of the babies, always interested in my cuddle visitors and spying on everyone in between. Everyone that spends time with me always leaves saying how sweet I am.
VICES
Has a serious case of FOMO
TALENTS
Moo'ing some really crazy moos that definitely do not sound like they're coming from a cow
Lilly
My name is Lilly, but my parents call me Lilly Belle. I'm an Angus Holstein cross cow with gorgeous midnight coloring. I like to live life in the slower lane, eat hay, and relax, so if you're looking to zen out, I'm your girl. They say I am the sweetest in the bunch and have never met someone I didn't like. My size may be intimidating, but if those babies are too rowdy for you, book a session with me! I enjoy a good brushing and lots of pets, plus, you can lay on me if you want an extra big hug (no seriously, you really can). Can't wait to meet you and cuddle!
VICES
May have an obsession with sweet feed...ahem
TALENTS
Converting people from being afraid of full-grown cows to being in love with them
