Cow Gets 'Hit by the Fence' and Complains Loud Enough for Everyone to Hear
We all know someone who acts personally victimized by the smallest inconvenience, and apparently that includes cows, too. High Land Farm recently shared a hilarious video of what happened after one of their cows accidentally walked straight into a fence, and viewers cannot stop laughing.
The deeply offended animal in question is actually a bull named Sloany. After getting "hit by the fence," he let out a long, dramatic moo that sounded far less like surprise and much more like he was filing a formal complaint with management.
@highlandfarmnh Sloany did not appreciate getting hit by the fence. #HighLandFarmNH#sloaneybaloney#fyp#sloanythebull

To say Sloany wasn't happy would be an understatement. We laughed when he started kicking up dirt, and when he kept whining even after the dramatic moo. He's clearly a fan of his mom's attention!

Kansas Farm Food Connection explains that cows moo for all kinds of reasons, as it's their main form of communication. They use different vocalizations to locate other members of the herd, express hunger, show happiness, or show fear. Mother and baby cows also moo to find each other.
Cows also moo when they're stressed or irritated, and those sounds tend to be louder, more frequent, and higher-pitched. As the author humorously points out, "Granted, cattle make a lot of other noises - grunts and snorts. But mooing is the most common, like an everyday language. Frankly, if I hear a bull bellowing, I probably don't want to stick around for a translation."
