Synopsis A cow is seen looking at the camera. The camera movies back to reveal two more cows standing on both sides. The cow in the middle taps its foot three times and started to sing. Then the second cow starts up in a bass voice. The third cow joins in as well. A fourth voice is heard – the three cows look off the screen. A small calf trots into view singing the high pitch and completing the a cappella chorus.
