Girl & Cow

Girl & Cow by KCzarzasty.
While visiting the Goshen Agricultural Fair my wife brought this picture to my attention. So overwhelmed by everything going on I would have missed this picture of this young girl and her cow taking an afternoon nap.

i am very touched by this picture, and would your permission to use it as a reference. i am considering doing this in a flat, line-art style with color only to highlight key points of interest... i.e. cow nose & girls lips... seriously.

So lovely! I don't think I've ever seen a cow that wasn't all messy with drool. That cow has such a clean and sweet face, and the girl is lovely. She's like Fern with Wilbur!

Lovely picture! This is a Holstein cow. These dairy breeds are generally very well cared for as they are quite valuable milk producers. If she is at an agricultural fair she is being pampered and well looked after as she will be shown and judged just like horses. I saw this on Cute Overload and just couldn't stop staring at it, such a wonderful shot!

I can't believe people don't seem to realise that we domesticated cattle purely for meat and milk. This picture could never have happened without that fact.
Gorgeous photo.

jeff_godofbiscuits says:

This is a beautiful, moving photo. To me, it's a vivid example of humane animal care. I am guessing that because this is at an agricultural fair, that girl probably knows that the cow is less a pet and more a source for milk or meat or whatever her family has chosen to keep cows for. However, that doesn't mean work animals can't be loved and cared for. This cow probably eats real cow food (as opposed to corn and all of the gross stuff that commercial livestock eats), gets to go outside, and has plenty of shelter and excellent veterinary care. She'll have a long, probably very happy life. This is how ALL of the animals we eat or get food from should live. I choose to be vegan because of the horrible system in place now, but I thank you so much for this picture that is an example of how it should be.
