Where a Cow means Beauty: There is one place in the British Isles where cows are really
Where a Cow means Beauty: There is one place in the British Isles where cows are really given beauty treatment. Where their pictures hang on the farm parlour walls, where they wear coats to keep them looking smart, and where their faces are their fortune. They are never allowed to feed from their mothers because it might make mother look odd, and they are taught from the early hours to take milk from the finger tips, and drink from a bucket as soon as possible. It is in Jersey, the Channel Island where once a cow leaves, it is banned from returning ever again. When they appear in the ring, they really get a beauty treatment with the clippers. Their horns are scraped and polished, and their coats brushed to glisten. These pictures were taken on the Mourant farm at Le Grange, Trinity, in Jersey, where cows are treated with every respect, because thatOs the business. Cythia Mourant 18 year old daughter of the farmer with their hours old calf endeavouring the teach it to take milk. First by letting it lick her fingers. She is the daughter of Grenville 15th" which gave 12, 000 pints of milk in one year. March 1961 P2137

Where a Cow means Beauty - A Glimpse into Jersey's Unique Farming Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In the picturesque British Isles, there exists a place where cows are not just livestock but revered beauties. Welcome to Jersey, the Channel Island that treats its bovine residents with utmost respect and care. This print captures the essence of this extraordinary farming practice. At the Mourant farm in Le Grange, Trinity, Cynthia Mourant, an 18-year-old daughter of the farmer, is seen tenderly introducing their newborn calf to the world of milk. In this enchanting moment frozen in time, she patiently allows the calf to lick her fingers as it learns to take milk from her gentle touch. Jersey cows here receive special treatment from birth until they leave for good – once a cow departs these hallowed grounds, it can never return again. Their portraits adorn farmhouse parlour walls while they proudly wear coats that keep them looking smart and polished. These magnificent creatures are taught early on to drink milk from buckets instead of nursing from their mothers so as not to alter their maternal appearance. When showtime arrives at the ring, these pampered cows undergo a beauty transformation like no other. Clippers delicately trim their horns while brushes meticulously groom their glistening coats. The result? Magnificent specimens that embody both grace and elegance. This remarkable glimpse into Jersey's unique farming tradition showcases how every aspect of these cows' lives is carefully curated with love and respect because in this corner of paradise - where a cow truly means beauty - such devotion is simply part of everyday life.
