I grew up in Sweden and my grandparents used to be farmers. In that particular dialect in Sweden where I grew up, there is even a specific word for "cows that get happy when they get out after the winter": rätchekuta. This video shows exactly this, cows that get very happy, run and jump around when they see green grass in the first time since months. Happy cows are so nice to see! 🥰

How can anyone not believe that animals have emotions? What a field full of joy and elation!

I never knew I liked seeing happy and jumpy cows till I saw this video

I had friends up north that had a dairy farm with guernsey cows. I remember seeing them let out the first time in the spring and we would watch them dance down the lane to the pasture! What fun! Loved going there! Upstate New York!

Reccomended during the lockdown, YouTube has a weird sense of humor

I’m a young 75: NEVER, EVER saw cows run and play like that! Ever! Thank you!

Oh god so many happy memories. I’ve actually got tears in my eyes. Many years ago I was a dairy farmer. This was the best day of the year. Letting my girls out to play and have fun 🥲🥲

[yuwish]

I don't think I've ever seen a herd of dairy cows move so quickly. They look absolutely thrilled!

If there's one thing I've learnt growing up with cows is they're basically giant dogs

[rustyshackleford]

This video proves that cows 🐄 aren’t dumb animals, they do have memories and thoughts with their own personalities !!!

[ArgaAnders]

"Releasing of the cows" (Kosläpp) is a big thing here in Sweden as well! People drives for miles just to witness it! The cows go absolutely bonkers with joy! Good fun for the whole family!

Every animal deserves to be able to run, enjoy the sun, play, and be happy. Every single person who keeps animals of any kind needs to do what this farm has done.

I live in Texas where the cows are always outside and I've never seen cows so happy. My dad had cows on his farm after he retired from the Air Force and they are such sweet animals when treated with kindness.

They were so careful not to hit each other and they were very aware about how much space they had. What lovely girls

[laurabarber]

It's so cute about the little baby lambs wiggle their tails when they're eating :-)

I have seen a few people asking why the cows are kept inside over winter. This is not done out of cruelty in this instance.
People keep cows inside over winter for a number of reasons:

It is partially to keep the cows from churning up the fields. In the winter it is cold, wet and very muddy in the UK. Cows are large animals and they can churn up the ground especially around frequently used areas like gates or food. It quickly looks like the aftermath of a festival.

Their hooves sink into the wet ground and they can get stuck in boggy mud. Being stuck in freezing wet mud up to your chest is not a good way to go for any animal.

Mud can also get very slippery and if an animal the size of a cow falls then it can hurt itself badly. The surface area of a cows hoof is fairly small so it is particularly susceptible to slips.

Also when the churned up ground eventually dries it leaves deep holes that harden and get hidden by growing grass. Cows can break a leg in these holes. I have twisted my ankle in them on numerous occasions.

Furthermore grass doesn't grow in the cold (under about 10 degrees Celsius) so removing the cows gives the field a rest and ensures that the cows have ample grass in the spring.

Also some breeds of cow don't do well in cold conditions. People often choose breeds of cow that are very productive (meat or milk) but these breeds don't necessarily do well in all climates.

Not everyone keeps cows inside over winter. Certain breeds like Highland cattle are a lot hardier, they are also smaller so they don't churn up the ground as much. These cows are also capable of dealing with poorer rockier ground which may drain better. They also tend to be kept in smaller herds so there are less animals churning up the ground.

I don't like animals being caged in battery farm type places so I understand where the concern comes from but in this instance people aren't keeping them inside because they are cruel profit focused assh*les. In fact it would probably be a lot cheaper if they could live outside year round. That way they wouldn't have to provide shelter, clean bedding or quite so much food. The weather and temperature during the winter makes it a necessity in many areas.

I don't keep cows myself but my Scottish grandad has a smallholding with some poultry, a vegetable patch, an orchard and a small flock of sheep. Some of his neighbours keep cows. I usually travel up four times a year to help with lambing, sheering and other tasks. I visit a lot as I am the oldest granddaughter and the only person in the family that knows how to sheer sheep other than my grandad plus I love it up there and it makes a great change from my desk job. I occasionally help his neighbours when I am up there as well. Because of this I am familiar with farm life but I am by no means an expert. If you are aware of other reasons behind this practice or if I have made a mistake then please leave a comment and let me know. I am always up for learning new things.

I love the way your farm is run and kept. The pen areas are always clean and everything is well kept. The animals are healthy and well kept of course, but the tidy farm speaks volumes. It takes a lot of work and extra care daily to keep everything in that good shape. You're doing it right, and it shows.

Never seen cows sprint like that hahaha cute
