This little girl had a joyful ride on a swing with the help of a playful cow-calf at a farm in Texas.

Footage, captured on April 23 in Magnolia, shows the calf, named RJ, pushing the swing as the girl, called Lyla, sits on it.

Lyla can be heard bursting into laughter in the video as the swing moves around.

Lyla's mother said: ''Our bottle fed calf loves my girls and loves to play so my youngest was swinging and he decided to join in.''

''We love animals and they are always part of our family.''
