A herd of Jersey cows have been given festive designs by a Christmas-obsessed farmer
A herd of Jersey cows are now sporting matching Christmas jumpers as part of a farmer's move to promote the island's agricultural history and culture.
Farmer Becky HouzĂ© is one of the islandâs biggest Christmas fans, and this year she couldnât help but take the festive spirit up a notch on the farm.
Never before has her girls Carol, Holly, Mary, Noelle and Mariah Dairy had the chance to display their Christmas flare with passers-by.
The girls are making history as the first herd of Jersey cows to wear matching Christmas jumpers.
The highly-productive Jerseys are among the finest dairy breed in the world, with over 250 years of purity with Jersey milk used to produce products including butter, yoghurt, cheese and the famous Jersey ice cream.
Becky HouzĂ©m, who farms at Lodge Farm, said: âWe love Christmas at the farm. This year we took the opportunity to âcast offâ an all new look for the girls to help get into the festive spirit by creating matching Christmas jumpers.
âIt took a while to cow-ordinate the right design, but we think weâve landed on a look worthy of the cream of the crop.

Tourism group Visit Jersey collaborated with Becky as part of the Chrismassy stunt, as the dairy breed are an 'iconic part' of the island's history.
Louise Ashworth, head of marketing at Visit Jersey, said: âJersey cows are an iconic part of the islandâs history and culture and weâre excited to be celebrating this with Becky and her girls as we âmoo-veâ into the festive seasonâ.
