One of the few instances where "we sent her to a farm where she can run free" is true!

Such a mooving story.

I had hoped to get in on the pun action, but I've been outflanked.

@Smitros: Don't be mad! It was all a misteak.

It's my fault for slacking rather than sticking to the straight and marrow.

Aw, now don't have a cow, Smitros. Just cowlick your wounds, gird your sirloins, and get back on the cattle again.

There's a delightful picture book called The Cows Are Coming to Paris that addresses precisely this question.
