        @sundogplanets Als het kalf verdronken is, dempt men de put.

        When the calf has drowned, one fills the well.

        I guess this will apply to Kessler syndrome too.

              Чья бы корова мычала, а твоя бы молчала.

                  @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

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

                                    @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.

                                          For no reason at all, please give me your favourite cow-related figures of speech! (Stuff like "No use crying over spilled milk" or "until the cows come home", puns extremely welcome)

                                          @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".
