This is Tippy, one of our milk cows.
Wipe your mouth, Tippy, you're dragging some corn silks.
Tippy saw one of the "Got Milk?" ads. You know, the ones showing a celebrity with a milk moustache? She wants to be in a cow magazine....."Got Corn?"

What's only knee deep to a cow is neck deep to a chicken, and has her pinned in a very bad spot.

a reel of wire,
some fence posts, and a hefty hammer.

the cows have perfected their innocent act. Who, us? Want corn? Fuggidaboudit, it's way too hot. If the weather's not too hot to prevent a jailbreak, at least the fence is.
