The Simpsons Se19 Ep17 Apocalypse Cow

Homer and Bart go out to do a chore and see Martin plowing fields for the 4-H club. When Homer realizes no parent participation is involved he signs Bart up immediately. When Bart joins 4-H, there is a contest to raise a cow, and at the end of the summer the best cow wins a ribbon. Bart is left with the runt, and is totally unaware of how to raise a cow, but with the help of Mary, one of Cletus’s kids, they name him Lou, and raise him to be very big. Eventually Lou wins, but Bart doesn’t realize all that means is he’ll get slaughtered first, and is very upset. Lisa sees Bart’s affection for Lou, and tries to trick him into being a vegetarian by playing mooing sounds on a CD. However it doesn’t work, and instead she helps him steal Lou. Because Bart can’t take care of Lou, he gives Lou to Mary, but her father mistakenly believes it is a token of marriage. So, Homer and Marge must break the two up. Marge, though, has a plan. Instead of sending Lou back, she sends Homer in a cow suit. Homer, thinking it’s a “laughter house” goes into the slaughterhouse, and almost gets killed, but Marge saves him just in time. Afterwards Lou is sent to India on a plane, where cows are considered sacred. The episode ends with Bart in his bed looking at a picture of him and Lou, stating that for once, he was glad he “had a cow, man.”^[1]
