We're so in the mooood for this!

It’s scientifically proven that being around an animal can help you de-stress.

Cuddling a dog or cat can help you feel better - but would you cuddle a cow?!

It's reported that cow cuddling is set to be the next big wellness trend.

A farm in New York is offering a "Horse & Cow Experience", which promises to:

"...bring relaxation, healing, awareness about your body language, comfort, mindfulness, build assertiveness, help with overcoming fear, build confidence, lets you be playful and teaches you to set boundaries."

During the 90 minute session at Mountain Horse Farm, you can pet the cows, brush them and play with them.

Sessions are facilitated by an equine specialist and a licensed counsellor and cost $300 (approx. €256) for two people.

Mountain Horse Farm claims cows are great cuddle buddies thanks to their sensitive nature:

"Cows have a body temperature that is slightly higher than humans and their heart rate is lower than ours. Cuddling up with a cow, feeling that lower heart rate and higher body temperature, is very relaxing."
