Cows from Saskatchewan

The only cow in a small town in Alberta, Canada, stopped giving milk. The people did some research & found they could buy a cow up in Melfort, Saskatchewan, for $200. They bought the cow from Saskatchewan & the cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all of the time & the people were pleased & very happy. They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow & produce more cows like it. They would never have to worry about their milk supply again.

They bought a bull & 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 & he could not succeed in his quest.
The people were very upset & decided to ask the local Veterinarian, who was very wise, what to do. They told the vet what was happening. 'Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away' they said. 'If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side & she walks away to the other side.'
The veterinarian thinks about this for a minute & asks, 'Did you buy this cow in Saskatchewan?'
The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where they bought the cow. 'You are truly a wise Vet,' they said. 'How did you know we got the cow in Saskatchewan?'
The veterinarian replied, with a distant look in his eye, 'My wife is from Saskatchewan.'
