Fluffy Cow Farms in Melrose, FL offers Highland cow cuddling sessions with Jett, our gentle, fluffy red Highland cow, and our loveable main herd. Sessions run about 30 to 45 minutes, and every cow cuddle includes a full sanctuary visit with the rest of our animals. Cuddling or sitting beside one of these beautiful cows is the experience of a lifetime for most guests, and very few places offer it.
Why Everyone Loves Highland Cows
Highland cows are everyone's dream cow. Originally from Scotland, they grow thick, fluffy coats to handle cold, rainy weather, and they are known for their gentle, sweet personalities.
Meet Jett
Jett is the fluffy red Highland cow who started Fluffy Cow Farms. He has the biggest doe eyes and the sweetest expression, and people began driving in from all over just to snuggle him. He is so gentle that he greets visitors outside the pasture.
A Rare Experience
There are very few opportunities to cuddle, lay, or sit next to a Highland cow. Seeing the smiles and tears of joy on our guests' faces is what makes these sessions so meaningful to us.

He Loves to Lie Down
Once the excitement of getting treats wears off, Jett often lies down for cuddles. That is when guests settle in beside him for the calmest, sweetest moments of the session.

Bring Bananas
Jett loves bananas. Bringing a few is a guaranteed way to make a new friend right away.
Your Sanctuary Visit Is Included
Every cow cuddle includes a farm visit, so there is no need to purchase an extra ticket. You are welcome to visit the other animals as long as you like before or after your cuddle.
More Animals to Meet
After your session, rub pig bellies, pet the horses over the fence, talk turkey with the gobblers, and feed the fish and turtles. Stop by the butterfly garden to see caterpillars and butterflies too.

Carley the Cat
"I was found as a little kitten, lost as could be. Now I have fun all day, eating lots of delicious food and treats. When I'm not eating, I like to follow people around. You may not see me when you visit, but rest assured, I'm watching you!"
