The Cutest Critters On The Farm: Wholesome Animal Pics That Prove Cuteness Can Do No Harm

As children, Old MacDonald taught us all about the awwdorable animals that live on a farm. The pigs, the chickens, the cows and the goats. But what he forgot to mention is how incredibly cute and cuddly they are (and how much they love hooman cuddles). These animals truly get to live out their best lives, surrounded by nature, with 24/7 hooman cuddling and feeding services at their beck and call, not to mention all the play time they could ever want. What on earth could be better?

We'll tell you what, getting to pet and cuddle them all day, every day! This is what some of the wonderful people who took these photos get to do day in, day out as volunteers/workers at farms and farm animal sanctuaries. Sounds like a pretty great way to spend a day, you'll find us chilling with the cows, soaking in their calming vibes or sleeping amongst the piggies.

"Silkie Bantams are so cute."

Part chicken, part fluffly comforter, these cluckers are more suited to the catwalk at Milan Fashion week than living in a hen house. We can just imagine them strutting their stuff as the camera flashes go off, giving the ground a peck or two on the way for extra panache and then posing like they are at the end of the runway for all to bask in the glow of their luxurious feathers.

"?You like my moo hat"

American patriotism has evolved many times over the years, but we think that this cow has nailed the patriotic look for this year. A subtle blend of a mother's warm doting look, contrasted by her strikingly bold hat fashioned out of an American flag. Take note for next 4th of july!
