So… This Is A Thing: Fluffed Up Show Cattle
We know a bunch of you are going to scream at us for not knowing this exists. But it’s the first time we see show cattle like this, and we’re… in stitches. These cows aren’t born this way, obviously. They’re the result of the careful crossing of two high-quality breeds, as well as a careful blowdrying and generous hairspray application. Lautner Farms, who sell and raise them, gives us more details on the process
“an ergonomically shaped squeegee to remove excess water after washing, a powered “Roto Fluffer” to remove guard hairs, high velocity blowers for drying, chutes especially designed to hold the cattle during grooming, huge turbo fans to keep a constant flow of air moving through the animals hair and more clipper and blade combinations than you can count.” Bruguiere also indicated that groomers use a lot of product to get the cattle looking spiffy listing “shampoos, conditioners, adhesives including a special one just for the tail, mousse, oil, dyes, paints in six different shades, hair builder, hair polish, sun screen, and removal products to get all this stuff off the hair.”
Some of these cows sell for six figures, so we’re thinking that we’re in the wrong line of work.

Sonic Wallets Play a Sound When Opened
Your wallet is boring. Boring looking, boring sounding. Add some excitement to something in your pants (we’re talking about your wallet, sicko!) with Sonic Wallets. When you open up these tough Tyvek wallets, they play a sound to match the colorful all-over design. The American Flag wallet plays either “Stars and Stripes Forever” or “The Star Spangled Banner”. The Baseball wallet plays classic baseball ballpark sounds. The Buddha wallet has chants and meditative sounds. The Drum Machine wallet- you can guess what that one sounds like- here’s a sample:
There’s a Jesus one with some angels and harp sounds (apparently Jesus himself wasn’t available for recording). There’s the Moolah cow design Sonic Wallet that says “moooolah” in a few different ways. Edward Munch’s “The Scream” and the Shakespeare Insult wallet complete the collection. You can hear all the wallets and buy them here for $19.95 each.
Cow and Rooster K-Cup Holders
Hooray! Somebody has finally a made a countertop K-Cup holder in a nice design that doesn’t make your kitchen look like an office break room or coffee shop. From October Hill comes either the Rooster K-Cup Holder or the Cow K-Cup Holder. The cow measures 15″ wide and 11.5″ tall, while the chicken is 12.5″ wide by 13.5″ tall. Each holds 12 K-Cups, which should be at least enough to get you through even the worst Monday.
