This isn’t the first time Derek Klingenberg has hit it big with something cow related. A few months back he became a viral hit when he posted a video of himself playing the Lorde tune "Royals" on trombone as his cattle watched.

Now the bovine big man has kicked things up a bit. A few hundred feet, to be exact.

Klingenberg used his farm truck to drop feed in a giant smiley face pattern. Then he waited for the cows to gather at the spots and took video of them with a drone.
