Here at Muddy Matches HQ, we’d genuinely thought we’d seen, and celebrated, the most bizaare sights country living had to offer; from engagement rings hanging off udders to sheep emblazoned with messages of ‘Marry Me?’ But no; a dairy farmer from St Saviour, Jersey has raised the baaaah! after dressing her herd of Jersey cows up in matching, handed crafted Christmas jumpers.

Simon Barnes, CEO of Send a Cow said: "This year we've taken the idea of the quirky Christmas jumper one step further, to encourage people to think differently about the gifts they buy this Christmas. Cows in Christmas jumpers certainly put a smile on our faces as we ‘mooo’ve into the festive season. The festive five, aptly named Carol, Holly, Mary, Noelle and Mariah Dairy(!) posed for the photoshoot, as part of a seasonal promotional push, bringing attention to the Jersey cow breed and the dairy products they produce. It took a while to cow-ordinate the right design but we think we’ve landed on a look worth of the cream of the crop” Ms Houze said.
