An “only in Iowa” moment went viral on Tik Tok when a Jesup man took his calf to Dairy Queen for ice cream.
Mason Corkery loaded the calf, Gucci, in the back seat of his pickup truck for the trip. He posted a video of himself and Gucci ordering a “pup cup” for the road on TikTok Saturday.
In the video, the 7-month-old calf gives Corkery licks while waiting in the drive-thru line before happily lapping it up on the ride home. As of Wednesday, the video had over 5 million views and 1 million likes.
Corkery and Gucci’s adventures blew up on TikTok — where the pair has more than 170,000 followers. Other videos feature Gucci-related hijinks, from stealing pizza, eating peanut butter and bathtime in the barn.
Watch Mason and Gucci go to DQ:
Gucci lives on Corkery’s family farm after the farmer met him while working at Hook Stock Farms in Grundy Center, according to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier. The calf was born prematurely, so Corkery took special care of him and the pair developed a special bond.
Since the Dairy Queen video, the two have made appearances on ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS News and other outlets to share their story. Corkery wants to use his and Gucci’s sudden TikTok fame to promote local farmers.
“Some people do care about their animals, and it’s their livelihood. Not all farming is bad,” Corkery told the Courier.
