'Moolywed' cow bride seeks wedding dress for big day

A wedding dress and a suit are being sought for a cow and a bull to wear on their big day - when they are taking part in a light-hearted farming competition next year.

Farmer Jen Husband, 24, from the Roseland in Cornwall, said the animals would be taking part in a pairs class at Devon County Show.

Five-year-old pedigree shorthorn Longfield Tobias's Waterloo will be the bride, joining her son Bluebell Trewithian in the fancy dress competition, with him taking on the role of groom.

Husband has appealed for help finding costumes that fit the 'moolyweds' and said "anything which resembles a dress of some sort, makes them look glorious and wedding day ready" would be well received.

Husband said the family started showing cattle in 2021 on the Roseland Peninsula, and their "whole family comes from a farming background".

She said they were also looking for a bridesmaid dress which her stepdad was "going to really love wearing" while leading the animals around the ring.

Husband said the fancy dress entry was a first for them, but she had seen other cow competitors enter previously dressed in costumes such one pair inspired by Baywatch.

"It's good fun and it makes everyone laugh," she said.
