Aren't cows just fluffy milk horses?
Horses are great, but cows are pretty much just horses with extra fluff—and what's not to love about that? Even if you're lactose intolerant, it's hard not to love a classic cow. They come in all colors, shapes, and sizes (have you ever seen a blow-dried cow?!), and you can even keep miniature cows around for a fun-sized farm. But let's face it: Cows aren't the most graceful creatures. Even gorgeous cows have been known to strike some goofy poses and make some silly faces. That's part of their charm, after all! Naturally, these bodacious bovine buddies of ours have become the subject of many bad cow puns and Dad jokes. They don't seem to mind it much, though.
Here are 30 amooosing (oh yes, pun totally intended) cow puns you can regale your friends with. They might never forgive you, but the subject matter will.
