is like the mad cow calling the herd rabid.

I’d rather kiss a mad cow on the muzzle than a smoker on the mouth.

There's a herd of about 500 cattle in pens very near to the barn and we're hoping the fire doesn't reach them.

It was a long night for the umpires, too. I was only mad because he kept insisting he was right.

Beef producers continued to expand the breeding herd for the second year. Beef cow numbers increased by 1 percent during 2005 after a small rise in 2004. The total number of cows increased by 338,000 head and the increase was concentrated in the western Corn Belt, where Missouri increased by 115,000 cows and Iowa by 40,000.

The land is not in the least bit fertile and yet the cattle herds grow larger and larger. A cow represents capital investment here.
