7. RED STATE
You have two cows and no land.

The government lets you graze on public land for free.

The government gives you steeply discounted water, food, and medicine for the cows.

The government then buys all the milk and beef from you for well above market price.

This government largesse allows you to buy a big Ford SUV and a nice big ranch.

You hate the government.

8. Good one!
But it's mainly the large farming corporation who profit the most, not small, family-owned farms. So this should apply to executives of those corporations.

10. Here in California
it's midsized ranching families that control large tracts of land in different areas of the state. The huge corporations are usually running feedlots.

So the joke would be more like "You have 2,000 cows..."
