The cow, Char, voted 'Britain's Sexiest Cow'SWNS

This doe-eyed Jersey has been voted 'Britain's Sexiest Cow'

Possibly the moo-st (sorry) disturbing thing we've ever heard

Just when we thought our country couldn’t get weirder, BAM! someone holds a competition to find ‘Britain’s sexiest cow'.

That’s right. Not 'hairiest.' Not 'loudest moo.' Not even ‘prettiest,' which would have been slightly less disturbing.

Sexiest.

Sex. i. est.

The winning cow is called Char, a doe-eyed, latte-coloured, four-year-old Jersey from Gooseford Farm in Devon.

She beat 39 other animals to be named the country's sexiest cow, apparently leaving her owner, Charlotte Cunningham, feeling like “a proud mum."

It’s very weird, but we do accept that she has great hair, and her statement brows are on fleek (although this might mean she’s a narcissist).

"Apparently she won by a landslide," Charlotte tells BBC Three. "She's got great hair, with a funny little quiff thing that the judges really liked, and she has really big, pretty eyes. She's a Jersey, and they're known for their lovely long eyelashes."

As well as a glam photoshoot (what cow doesn’t dream of having some new headshots taken?), Char has also won owner Charlotte a weekend spa retreat for two.

Cows aren’t allowed into the spa, so poor Char will have to miss out on a relaxing moo-ssage (once again, sorry).

The two runners-up were Tetford Twinkle, from Tetford, and Bonnie, a slightly more hirsute Highlander from Suffolk.

Back in March, farmers were asked to enter their dreamiest cows by posting their photos on Twitter with the hashtag #BritainsSexiestCow.

Judges from RAGT, a company that makes animal seed, then narrowed them down to a shortlist of 40 contestants. Then, a few months later, they chose the cow they found the "cutest".

Chrissy Cottrell, from RAGT, says they were drawn to Char because "she has a nice expression on her face".

"It was all very light-hearted," she adds.

Naturally, people on Twitter were a bit confused by the whole thing.

Of course, there were cow puns.

And vegans obviously weren’t too happy with sexually objectifying cows.

Although, if we are going to objectify cows, Bonnie the runner-up has a few fans...

Bizarrely, this isn’t the first time people have lauded the attractiveness of a non-human animal.

Back in 2015, crowds of women were apparently rushing to Higashiyama Zoo in Nagoya, Japan, to see a silverback gorilla called Shabani.

Shabani was described as “very good looking” by female visitors, which, to be honest, was quite unsettling.

But the zoo said gorillas have always been attractive - people just didn't pay attention before.

“Perhaps because more people have actually taken the time to really look at them, they are noticing for the first time how attractive gorillas are,” zoo spokesman Takayuki Ishikawa told BBC News at the time.

We'll have to take their word for it.

More recently, an unidentified Twitter person brought this very buff cat to our attention.

How does a cat get to be so muscular? Is this the only cat that doesn't sleep for 20 hours a day, and chooses to lift weights instead?

Frankly this is all just too much.
