A dairy farmer going by the name of Cans Moleman shared a picture of one of his young calves wearing pink woolly earmuffs online. The reason? To protect the calf from frostbite. The response? An online frenzy from netizens who were either baffled or besotted by the adorable invention.
The farmer from County Meath, just north of Dublin in Ireland, shared a photo of the pink “calf earmuffs” on Twitter on June 25, 2019. Moleman wrote:
“So it turns out earmuffs for calves to stop them getting frostbite are a real thing.”Comments came in thick and fast.
