@girls: Turns out cows aren’t just grazing all day — they’re bonding. A study from the University of Northampton found that cows form strong friendships and actually get stressed when they’re separated. When placed with their bestie? Heart rates dropped. Calm vibes returned. But when isolated or paired with a stranger? Stress levels spiked fast. These gentle animals crave familiarity and emotional connection — just like us. It’s not just sweet. It’s science. [Source: University of Northampton, 2011]
