The story of the Holstein calf Comfortable, whose distinctive markings resemble a smiley face, has been in all places within the media this week, with the farmers deciding to maintain Comfortable on the farm as a pet.

It received us questioning whether or not our farmer readers would ever justify maintaining their animals due to the “cute” issue – tell us or higher but, ship us footage of your individual farm animal’s uncommon markings.
