A dairy cow was so excited for the first big snow of the year, she escaped out of her gate and tried to catch the snowflakes on her tongue.

Adorable footage of Stella the cow catching the snowflakes on her tongue was filmed on a farm in Wooster, Ohio on December 16.

Her owner, Angela Sloan, said when the snow began to fall, Stella got out of her gate and was running around in the snow.

Angela put the excited cow back into her pen, but when she turned around, Stella was still having fun the snow. 

In the video, the black and white cow waves her tongue around comically licking up the snowflakes. 

Other cows moo in the background, as Stella moves her head from side to side with childlike amazement and snowflakes fall into her open mouth.

The video was filmed on a farm in Wooster, Ohio

Teresa Furness wrote: ‘How gorgeous. They are so funny when its raining as well. Never want to come out of the shed.’

Cows have unusually long tongues, which fully stretched out can reach up to three-feet long.

In winter, some cows even eat snow to supply all their water needs.
