The Wisconsin Cow and a wise Georgia Vet

A farmer in Georgia was into self sufficiency, he had chickens for their eggs, a big vegetable garden, a few few pigs and steers and he decided he wanted a milk cow.

He knew Wisconsin was famous for it’s milk and cheese, so got on the internet and bought him a prize milker. It was duly dispatched.

After a few weeks, he was delighted with his purchase. The cow was giving more milk than his family could drink and he started selling the odd gallon or two. He then bought a bull to mate with the cow to get more cows, so they’d never have to worry about their milk supply again and he might make a dollar or two.

He put the bull in the pasture with the cow but whenever the bull tried to mount the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he was never able to do the deed.

The Georgia farmer was very upset and decided to go the Vet, who was very wise, tell him what was happening and ask his advice.

“Whenever the bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward, when he approaches her from the front, she backs off. If he attempts from the one side, she walks away to the other side”, he told the Vet.

The Vet rubbed his chin thoughtfully and pondered this before asking: “Did you by chance, buy this cow in Wisconsin?”

The farmer was dumbfounded, since he had not mentioned that he had bought the cow from Wisconsin.

“You are truly a wise Vet,” he said. “How did you know we got the cow from Wisconsin?

“The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye, “My wife is from Wisconsin!”
