Move Over, Selfies; #Felfies Are the Hottest Trend on the Farm

If you're an avid selfie-snapper, you already know which filters show you at your Insta-best. If you're a felfie snapper, however, your favorite filter flatters not only you but also your favorite family cow.

Felfies, or farm selfies, are gaining ground on Instagram and we are delighted. Cows, horses, pigs and the like bring some serious cute to these otherwise standard self-portraits.

The Irish Farmers Journal kicked off the trend about a month ago with a contest in search of the best selfie taken on a farm.

Since then, the trend has inspired two websites: felfies.com and farmingselfie.com.

William Wilson, a United Kingdom-based farmer's son who runs the latter site, describes the trend on his site's homepage: "Self portraits from farmers around the world doing their best to keep everyone fed. We hope with this website we can put a face to the farmers who work to put food on your table."

Check out 20 squeal-worthy felfies of farmers and their barnyard friends.
