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...

And l don't believe what l see.

MRS. CALOWAY:
Oh, it's Buck!

MAGGlE:

Stallion of the Cim-moron.

l'm supposed to be here

just in case...

one of the horses get tired.

Cows only.

Look, friend, you don't

understand my situation.

No, you don't understand...

so l'll say it again.

The only critters

that get by me are cows.

Cows only.

Oh, come on!

Look, cut me a break.

[Moo]

Now what?

Aww, what are you doing here?

Ha ha! Sorry we're late.

We got separated from the herd.

Right this way, little lady.

Tell 'em Junior sent you.

Ohhh...

-Howdy, partner!

-Ahem.

-Nice hat, ma'am.

-Oh! Cheeky devil.

Excuse me, reject.

Coming through.

Oh! Hey, what gives?!

How come

they got to go through?

They're cows.

What?!

But what about the rabbit?

Well, obviously,

he was with the cows.

Ha! l'm with the cows, too!

Yeah! Hey! Hey, cows! W-wait up!

You got to tell this guy

you know me!

See, Junior, we're old friends!

Come on, Margie! Uh, Gretchen!

Miss, uh--uh, Hat Cow!

Come on,

it's your old pal Buck, see?

Buck...Buck...

Oh, Buck!

Nah, doesn't ring a bell.

No, no, no, wait!

Hey, come back! No!

Hang on--hang on a second.

Heh heh heh.

They're just kidding.

You see, if you could--

Oh, hey! Hey!

Hey, cows! Cows! Oof!

Don't make me hurt you.

Heh heh.

Rico. [Laughs]

l gotta go, but let's throw on

the old feedbag sometime.

Stay cool.

Ha ha ha! lt's hero time.

LUCKY JACK:

So what's the plan?

Well, let's see...

You two get his attention

while l sneak up behind him...

and then

l'll knock him into the cart...

and then we'll rope him up

and wheel him to justice!

And for extra measure...

how about we conk him

on the noggin with this?

You go, cowgirl!

That's usin' the old hat.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Now, you lost me here, missy.

Look, Jack, it's simple.

Cart, smack, rope, roll,

justice. Come on, Jack, focus.

Now is not the time to get

all scatterbrained and flaky.

[Chuckling]

Oh, good, l'm not too late.

Sorry. Still stakin' out

your quarry, huh?

Yeah, pretty much. Why?

Listen, l came to warn you, one

equine to another, about Rico.

As soon as he nabs

that rustler...

he's gonna be in a big hurry

to collect that reward.

-So?

-So?!

Once he catches his man, that's

when the horsewhip comes out...

and he's not shy

about using it, either!

-Horsewhip?

-Horsewhip!

And not only are you

gonna be carrying Rico...

but that rustler as well.

Have you seen that guy?

He's huge!

What should l do?

-Run!

-OK.

Yeah, run like the wind,

partner, and save yourself!

l'm going!

Go on, take off! Fade!

Ride into the sunset!

-All righty, l'm outta here!

-Aah! Scram!

OK, thanks, buddy!

l owe you one!

Godspeed, my friend!

So long, sucker! Ha ha!

He must be takin' stupid lessons

from that buffalo.

-Ohh!

Can't you morons

count to yourselves?

Come on.

Gotta start all over!

-There he is.

-Come on, let's go!

Hold on!

You're both forgetting

Slim's hypnotic control...

over those

with less than perfect pitch.

Jack, l hope you can forgive me.

-For what, missy? Aah!

-For that.

Now, you watch it there, toots!

Grace, how practical!

Done countin'!

-What do we got?

-4,997.

-What?

-Huh? Wait, wait, what?

The others can't be far behind.

Just you watch.

You're gonna like this.

Yodeling's an art.

Ahem.

[Yodeling Ride of the Valkyries]

Huh?

[Yodeling]

Ha ha ha!

What's the deal, Slimbo?

Maybe she wasn't an art lover.

Philistine!

Shut up, you greenhorns!

A bovine ain't been born

Ahem. [Thump]

[Yodeling 1812 Overture]

[Grunting]

Call me crazy, but l think

Maybe they just don't like

your singing.

Shut up! Ahem.

Mr. Weaseley,

my money, if you please.

Heh heh heh. l was just

keeping it safe for you, Slim.

Sure you were.

Protecting my investments

is what l pay this fellow for.

Mr. Weaseley, let me present...

the most traitorous,

double-crossin' gun for hire...

that l've ever had the pleasure

to call partner--Rico.

You're too kind, boss.

No, it can't be.

His reputation as

a bounty hunter is well-known...

but lately he's been doing

a little moonlighting...

and covering my tracks.

Rico's going to see you

to the border...

so that nothing else goes wrong.

Tck-tck.

[Screech]

Now, if you'll all pardon me...

there's

a little Patch of Heaven...

on the auction block

this morning.

[Gasps]

He's going to buy our farm!

Adios! Yee-haw!

l don't know

how you got here, skittish...

but stick with me,

and you may get to like...

the other side of the law.

Get on there! Hyah!

WESLEY:

All right, come on! Come on!

Move it, Bessie! Get in there!

Hurry up!

You don't want to be late...

for that big round-up

in the sky!

[Neighs]

Hah! Skittish, whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Get in there!

Come on, you stupid cows!

[Mooing]

Come on!

Unh!

[Thump]

WESLEY:
Lovely.

Now get the engine fired up...

and let's make tracks.

[Buck neighs]

[Humming]
