These Cute Cows Are So Excited to Bounce on Their New Jolly Ball
Did you know cows like to bounce about on top of giant balls? We didn't, but now it's our favorite thing about cows!

"We've got a little bit of a problem here. Millie seems to have popped their favorite Jolly Ball."

Poor Millie got a little too excited playing with the ball a few days earlier, and in her bouncing, the whole giant thing popped.
Thankfully, Mom hurried up and got another for the two cuties, and she even let them pick which color they liked best.
"I've got two new covers for them to choose from. I kind of like the teal one, so I hope they choose that one."
Both cows give the covers a good sniff, and one starts chewing at the edge of the teal one. Before long, the other joins in, and the verdict is in. Teal it is!
"One thing about cows is they are very nosy," Mom says. "If you bring anything out here that they've never seen before, they want to know what it is and they want to fight over it."
After filling the Jolly Ball right up, Mom gives it over to the cows, and Millie goes right on playing as if nothing ever happened. In just a moment, she's climbed on top of the ball and starts bouncing away. It's certainly something we've never seen, and it's so adorable.
"Seeing Millie do a complete belly roll onto that ball was so satisfying to watch," one fan says.
"I love these sweet moo-moos so much," another commenter says. "They are just like little kids, so adorable."
"Get them like 10 of those," another suggests.

Do Cows Often Play With Toys?
Little did we know, cows are huge fans of toys! As Millie's mom says in this video, cows are naturally curious. They're known to play with balls large and small, to bat at hanging objects and to scratch themselves with all manner of things around them.
Cows can actually grow very attached to certain objects and toys, showing clear favorites when it comes to games and other forms of entertainment.
Just as with a dog or cat at home, it's important to provide cows with appropriately enriching toys and activities, helping maintain their mental and emotional well-being by giving them problems to solve and objects with which to experiment.
We hope Millie and Milo have months of fun with their new Jolly Ball-maybe even more if they can stop themselves from popping this one!
