Interacting Intimately with Livestock: Finding Tranquility with Cows
Experience the Calming Power of Cow Cuddling at Lüttje Drööm Farm
In the picturesque region of Jevenstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, lies a unique farm known as Lüttje Drööm. This farm has gained renown for offering visitors an extraordinary experience – cow cuddling[1][3][4].
Cow cuddling is a therapeutic activity that attracts individuals seeking relaxation and emotional comfort. By physically bonding with these gentle creatures, participants find a sense of peace and stress relief[1][3]. The initiative is championed by Laura Morschett, a trained agronomist, who warmly invites visitors to partake in this unique experience[1][2].
The farm is home to a small herd, consisting of the oxen Winnetou and Themba, and the cows Amira, Donna, Tilda, Alva, Annouk, and Viola, affectionately known as the "Magical Eight". These animals have been raised to be comfortable with human interaction, having learned to trust from a young age[2].
Each animal on the farm follows its own daily rhythm, and during cow cuddling sessions, visitors can lean against Amira, the friendly cow that Meike Nitsch found herself comfortably close to during a recent cuddle course[2].
Lüttje Drööm farm provides an alternative way to interact with animals, focusing on relaxation and companionship rather than production. If a cow does not wish for company or cuddles, it is given the freedom to roam and be alone[2].
For first-time cow cuddlers like Meike Nitsch and her mother, Jessica Nowatki, initial feelings of respect and touch anxiety were present. However, as they connected with the animals, these feelings quickly dissipated, leaving a sense of peace and bonding in their place[2].
Whether you're a city dweller or a country folk, young or old, cow cuddling at Lüttje Drööm farm offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and find a moment of tranquility in the heartbeat of a cow[1][3]. If you're interested in establishing a partnership for the animals on Laura Morschett's farm, opportunities are available for those who wish to support this unique venture[1][2].
Discover the tranquil home-and-garden atmosphere at Lüttje Drööm Farm, where not only cows but also pets are part of the lifestyle. Alongside the Magical Eight, there's a chance to cuddle with a wonderfully trained cattle dog, adding a delightful touch to your farm experience.
