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

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 previous beauty treatment with the clippers. Their horns are craped 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 thatÕs the business. March 1961
