We've rekindled one of the most hotly contested media events of the year - yes Cow of the Week is back!

They're out now munching their way across the commons - and we're delighted to reveal the first of our bovine beauties.

This picture was taken by Gary Watkins‎ of Gloucestershire Camera Club - well done Gary you really do deserve a pat on the back for this one!

Send your cow pictures in via our Facebook page to stand a chance of being featured in this coveted slot.
