They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more
cows like it. Then they would never have to worry about the milk

supply again.

They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow.

However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move
away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would
move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.

The people were very upset and decided to ask a local engineer, who
was very wise, what to do. They told the engineer what was
happening.
"Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he
approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches

her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and she
just walks away to the other side,"

The engineer thought about this for a minute and asked, "did you buy
this cow from Wisconsin?"

The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where
they had gotten the cow.

"You are truly a wise engineer," they said. "How did you know we got
the cow from Wisconsin?"
