Synopsis: Alameda Slim, a wanted cattle rustler, uses an alias to buy up properties all over western Nebraska, and his next target is the Patch of Heaven dairy farm, where the widow owner cares more for her 'family' of yard animals's welfare then for profit, so she just hasn't got the cash to keep in business. The other animals, mainly carefree youngsters, being unable, three cows of very different temperament and manners rise to the desperate occasion and set out to do battle for their dream home, teaming up unnaturally with each-other, the sheriff's megalomaniac horse and any other animal who can possibly help, even a crazy lucky rabbit and an invincible buffalo, hoping to beat the crook to the Patch's auction, or anything it takes...

[Sniffing]

Hmm, l'd say...

[Sniffing]

seven hundred and fifty of 'em.

But, Maggie, where are we

gonna get all that money?

Well, maybe Maggie

can just pull it out of her ear.

Hey, watch it, Caloway.

[Thunder]

[Thunder]

[Gulp]

[Gulp]

-Rico.

-Rico.

[Buzz]

-Rico.

-Rico.

[Wind howling]

[Coughing]

[Horse snorts]

Who is that?

[Buzzing]

-Shh.

-Sorry.

[Fluttering]

Don't you know a hero

when you see one, huh?

That's Rico...

the best dang bounty hunter

this side of the Pecos.

[Laughs] l could guess

from here to tomorrow...

but l don't know

how you do it, Rico.

-Mmf!

-Where's my money?

Well, all right,

l got it right here for you.

Hey, they're giving away

free money!

Oh! Maggie!

So, who else is out there?

The only varmint left...

is that low-down,

good-for-nothin' Alameda Slim.

Cattle rustler. [Gasps]

-What's the bounty?

-$750.

[Ka-ching]

l got it!

Why don't we go nab

that Alameda Slim...

and use the reward money

to save the farm?

Oh, that is a sensible idea.

l knew you'd love it!

Tch. Don't they have sarcasm

where you come from?

Oh, wake up and smell

the alfalfa! lt's perfect!

l'm gonna need a fresh horse.

[Gasps]

Hmm, a horse. A horse.

Let me think.

l reckon you'd want

a fast horse, huh? Real fast?

Course, he'd also have

to be able to go...

for days

without food or drink...

stealthy,

sure-footed in any terrain...

Well, huh...

-Look at me!

-What about that horse?

[Chuckles]

What, you mean Buck here?

-Eee!

-Boy, l don't know.

Buck's fast, all right,

but he's kind of a handful.

-He'll do.

-Well, suit yourself.

[Squeals] Hey, Rusty!

Rico's saddle!

l'm wearing Rico's saddle!

[Squeaking]

l'm wearing Rico's saddle!

Great. l'll leave you two alone.

Ohh, oh, no. No, no, no.

There is no way

in heaven or earth...

that cows can catch an outlaw.

Look, all we've got to do...

is follow this chuck wagon

to a cattle drive.

Ahh. And then, you see...

we let the bad guys come to us.

Oh! We've

no reason to believe...

this chuck wagon is heading off

to a cattle drive.

Hey, Tommy!

Have fun on that cattle drive!

All right, then. Mm-hmm.

l think it is

headed toward a cattle drive.

Shh. We are not following

this wagon, and that is final.

Come on, Caloway. lt'll be fun!

-Did you just hit me?

-Kinda.

-Well, stop it.

-Why?

Because l don't like it.

[Sputtering]

Ooh!

[Splat]

Oh, no. Not the hat.

What? What about the--

Unh!

[Splat]

Hmph.

[Moo]

All right, all right...

violence is not going

to solve anything.

Why don't we all take

a deep cleansing breath--

-Yaah!

-Yaah!

[Grunting]

Hey, now! Mud wrestling!

Ha ha! Hey, hey!

Watch the saddle!

[Mooing]

[Thump]

What in tarnation?

Maggie, for the last time...

l will not be roped

into this scheme.

Come on, you crazy heifers!

Come on! Dagnabit!

Hey, partner,

curb your livestock.

This town is clean!

[Speaking Chinese]

Giddy-up!

Ack!

Not exactly what l had in mind,

but this'll work.

Well, it doesn't work for me!

Adios, Buck.

Take care of Rico now.

[Neighs]

Hasta la vista, heifers!

Hoo hoo!

GRACE, OFF-KEY:

# Oh, give me a home #

GRACE, OFF-KEY:

# Oh, give me a home #

# Where the buffalo roam #

# And the deer--ahem--

and the antelope pla-a-ay #

# Where seldom is heard #

# A discouraging word #

# And the skies

are not cloudy all day #

[Mooing]

# Home, home on the range #

-Sold!

-What was that?

MAGGlE:

lt's a farm auction, ladies.

AUCTlONEER:
And that's the last

of the furniture. [Bang]

The final item

to be auctioned...

is this piece

of real property...

known heretofore

as the Dixon farm.

Do l hear 425? 425!

Do l hear 450? 450?

What's going to happen

to the cow who lived there?

She'll be OK.

-How do you know?

-You're lookin' at her.

-This was your farm?

-Mm-hmm.

We had, like, a family, too,

you know.

-What happened?

-Alameda Slim happened.

[Evil laughter echoing]

Aah!

[Laughter echoing]

Sold to Mr. Yancy O'Del!

Pleasure

doing business with you.

[Thud]

[Playing harmonica]

MAGGlE:

Cattle drive. Told ya.

You both owe me a dollar.

Step lightly, girls.

The male of the species

can be extremely hostile.

Oh, come on, Caloway.

lt's not like they haven't

seen a cow before.

Mmm? Ohh...

Hey, Barry.

-What? Huh?

-Check it out.

Ooh, dairy cows!

ALL:
Oooh!

Oh, hey, how's it going?

Oh, hello. Let me guess.

You're a Taurus.

Look, just keep moving

and avoid eye contact.

-Ahem.

-Oh!

Pardon me, but what are

three lovely ladies like you...

doing on a drive like this?

Just ignore them,

and perhaps they'll go away.

Oh, they seem like nice guys.

Maybe they can help us.

Why, sure we can help you.

Maybe we can help each other.

-Hmm?

-Hmm?

Look, lover-bull,

we're here strictly on business.

Ooh, sounds pretty exciting.

What kind of business?

We're looking for a cattle

rustler named Alameda Slim.

-Grace! Shh!

-Grace! Shh!

Hey, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Slim? Oh ho ho ho!

Why, Slim's just

a scary bedtime story...

to get little calves to behave.

[Hisses]

-Uhh!

-Ooh!

What was that?

lt must be Slim and the Willies.

Slim and the Willies?

Don't worry, darlin'.

l'll protect you.

You have exactly two seconds

to remove your hoof...

before l snap it off

at the knee.

Oh, uh, sorry, ma'am.

l thought you were the blonde.

Ooh!

Come on, girls.

lt's time to lose these ropes.

SLlM:

Where you going? Ho-yah! Hyah!

-Maggie, l'm stuck.

-Look out!

Hahh!

[Dramatic music playing]

lt's payback time.

-Cover me!

-With what?

-Howdy, Slim.

-Howdy, Slim.

Quiet, you fools.

We've got work to do.

Now listen up.
