COSSETS Meaning and
Definition
-
Cossets, most commonly used as a noun, refers to a set of young animals, usually lambs, that are nurtured and pampered with excessive care and attention in order to promote their growth and ensure their well-being. Each member of a cosset receives personal attention and is hand-reared, often being fed with special care and provided a comfortable and sheltered environment. This process is typically employed to obtain meat or wool of superior quality.
Cossetting often includes practices such as bottle-feeding the lambs individually, regulating their diets to make sure they receive optimal nutrition, providing appropriate warmth and shelter, and protecting them from any harm or distress. This heightened level of care aims to create a stress-free and controlled environment for the animals to thrive. As a result, cosset lambs may have meat that is more tender and flavorful, or wool that is softer and of higher quality compared to conventionally raised counterparts.
Beyond agriculture, "cossets" can also be used as a verb, primarily in the form of "cosseting," referring to the act of indulging, coddling, or pampering someone or something excessively. In this context, it is often used to describe an excessive or doting type of care, attention, or treatment given to a person, object, or idea.
