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. -
@sundogplanets there's taking the bull by the horns and on the horns of a dilemma, but not cows, exactly

@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.
