You have two cows. You can't sleep at night because one is slightly taller, one keeps eating more than the other, they keep switching places in the barn, and they eat the hay and grain unevenly in the trough, making you have to scoop out the uneaten hay and grain, and feed it to them by hand until it's gone because the old hay and grain can't touch the new hay and grain.
