      @sundogplanets In Dutch: (Je moet geen) Oude koeien uit de sloot halen - (one should not be) getting old cows out of the ditch: you should not harp on about grievances or wrongdoings from the past.

      Bij de pinken zijn: Being with the yearlings (bullocks). Being clever, alert, witty.

          @sundogplanets "like a saddle on a cow" is a russian idiom to describe something that doesn't go together with something else at all

              Where are cows born in the UK? Uddersfield.
              Why can't cows stay still? Because they're always moo-ving.
              All the above it true or it could be utter bullocks.

                        When the calf has drowned, one fills the well.

                        I guess this will apply to Kessler syndrome too.

                        @sundogplanets another dutch one: Er is geen koe zo bont of er zit wel een vlekje aan.
                        There isn't a cow so piebald or it has a speck.

                        Meaning: no smoke without fire, there must be some thruth to the rumor.

                            "Everything is better with some cows around .."

                            Ever since I heard Corb Lund sing it, it's been my favorite cow expression.

                              @sundogplanets I was gonna say "closing the barn door after the cows have left", but from what I can tell, the more common form of this idiom is "closing the barn (or stable) door after the horse has bolted".

                                @sundogplanets I can contribute the Finnish saying "oma lehmä ojassa", "his (or her) own cow in the ditch".

                                He has got his own cow in the ditch = He has his own reasons for asking you to do something, eg. helping to pull up the cow from the ditch.

                                  @sundogplanets Oh, and then we have the Swedish one, "ingen ko på isen", "there is no cow on the ice", meaning "no need to hurry, it's not an emergency.
