THE DIALECT OF COWS

Cows have local dialects. Cows of one herd will low in a different fashion than cows of another herd, even if the species are identical. The reasons are the same as with people--one speaks with the same accent as his parents and other folks with whom he is raised.  

And yes, I know that strictly speaking, "cow" refers only to a mature female bovine. I am obviously using the term here in the common informal sense of describing anything which goes "moo." At least I am not portraying bulls with udders like Paramount Pictures did in Barnyard.
