As this video shows, these precious cows and donkeys love a good goodnight kiss just as much as any human child, and it’s totally adorable! Turns out that love and affection are part of a universal language that is enjoyed by animals and humans alike!

These precious farm babies couldn’t be any more adorable if they tried! Just look at how patiently they wait for their loving human to give them those sweet goodnight kisses.

Honestly, we think that this video offers proof that there is an afterlife, because this must be what heaven looks like! Who wouldn’t want to kiss these sweet bovine and donkey babies goodnight every night? We are officially declaring this barn heaven on earth!

The Internet was unanimous in its love for these sweet cows and donkeys, with everyone in the comments section pretty much volunteering to come to this farm and give these animals all the goodnight kisses they could handle.

Affectionate Cows

In recent years, researchers have found that cows are very sophisticated and sensitive creatures, with some farmers even opening up their bovines to “cow cuddling” with the public.

Some people find cuddling with an adorable cow to be very therapeutic, almost like spending time with a horse.

Interestingly, cows have a higher average body temperature than humans at around 101°F. Their natural warmth combined with their slower heart rates are qualities that naturally help people relax, relieving them of stress and anxiety.

Unsurprisingly, some farmers have labeled cows as among the most empathetic and nurturing animals around. Hey, if someone gave us the chance to cuddle with the cow as a way to blow off steam or relax, we would take them up on that offer in a heartbeat.

So, it shouldn’t be surprising that cows would want some goodnight kisses from one of the humans on their farm.

As for the donkeys in this video, well, we have seen plenty of adorable farm donkeys that are basically just babies, so it’s no surprise that they really want some good night kisses from their loving human, either.
