Regional moo
Cows have regional accents, say British farmers.
Lloyd Green, from south-west England, says he is not the only one to notice that the sound of a cow’s ‘moo’ varies depending on where they live.
He said: "I spend a lot of time with my Friesian cows and they definitely ‘moo’ with a Somerset drawl.
"I’ve spoken to the other farmers in the West Country area and they have noticed a similar development in their own herds.
"I think it works the same as with dogs - the closer a farmer’s bond is with his animals, the easier it is for them to pick up his accent." John Wells, a phonetics professor from London’s University College, said: "You find distinct chirping accents in the same species around the country.
This could also be true of cows."
