The only cow in a small town in Aberdeenshire stopped giving milk. The people did some research and found they could buy a cow down in Forfar for £200.
They bought the cow from Forfar and it was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all of the time, and the people were pleased and very happy.
They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more cows like it. They would never have to worry about their 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 the vet, who was very wise, what to do.
They told the vet 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. When approached from the side she walks away to the other side."
The vet thought about this for a minute and asked, "Did you buy this cow in Forfar?"
The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where they had bought the cow.
"You are truly a wise vet," they said. "How did you know we got the cow in Forfar?"
The vet replied with a distant look in his eye, "My wife is from Forfar."

And I thought it would end with "I heard that a bull was sold there.".
