A heartfelt and humorous ode to the cows of Beverley Westwood, where locals and livestock share space, tradition, and everyday life.

Synopsis

The Westwood Cows is a light hearted and affectionate celebration of one of Beverley’s most familiar sights. Set on the open common of the Westwood, where cows and locals freely coexist, the film captures the humour, charm, and quiet bond between people and place. Blending everyday moments with gentle comedy, including a local fun run where participants don cow onesies, the film turns a regional quirk into a warm portrait of community life. The Westwood Cows is a simple, joyful ode to tradition, shared spaces, and the character that makes a place feel like home.
