When UFOs fly over a farm, it always seems that the first thing they do is to beam up the farmer's cows with their Tractor Beam. Abduction accounts being what they are, you'd think aliens would be more interested in scientists or political leaders than farmers, but where else would you test a tractor beam? This is actually a great example of a Dead Unicorn Trope. Like Anal Probing, "Cattle Abductions" were never really suspected alien encounters in the first place; but they've become popular as a sort of satirical combination of cattle-mutilation stories (compare the similar urban legend of el chupacabras) and Alien Abduction stories. It's also a useful trope for designating aliens that are up to no good, but in a comedic or nonthreatening way (the sight gag of a mooing cow being tractor-beamed up into a flying saucer). Sometimes it's even played as a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder: they just can't resist beaming the creature up. Sub-Trope of Sky Heist. Not to Be Confused with Aliens Steal Cable — although if they've been watching too many Westerns, that may be where they got the idea. |

In Predator 2, the government team sets up an ambush in a meatpacking plant, where they know the alien will be going because it needs to eat. Justified, since the Predator is undoubtedly carving beef from cattle carcasses, and almost certainly is not paying for what he takes. | |

Played for laughs in The Far Side, where an angry farmer yells to his wife to fetch his shotgun, because "those dang aliens are after the chickens again!" As the quote indicates, it uses chickens instead of cattle, despite The Far Side being practically synonymous with cow-based humor. | |

MOO!, a disturbing video by Cyriak, features cows being abducted for mutilation and converting their body parts into musical instruments. The aliens even clone them in test tubes until one turns into an incredibly freaky mutant which spawns more... Mutant cows which fight back with the aliens and team up with them later when another group of aliens invade Earth. Yeah... It has to be seen to be believed. | |

In WarioWare Gold, Orbulon goes around abducting pigs in his stage (instead of cattle) in order to have them processed into burgers at the local fast food joint. |

One Underdog story provides quite a sensible explanation for this phenomenon. Why would aliens want cattle? For their milk! But what kind of aliens would want milk? Giant cats! When their planet's milk supply runs out, their leader Overcat steals all of Earth's cattle, and then abducts Sweet Polly Purebred to be the milkmaid. | |

Sam in Freefall has stated that he doesn't steal cattle because they bite him. He also thinks that they (and all earth animals for that matter) are the reason that aliens never made contact with earth, of course his species is apparently quite tasty. A case of Truth in Television. Most people who have never been around cattle presume them to be docile and harmless creatures. In reality, cattle are often very skittish and sometimes very aggressive. They also weigh close to or upwards of a ton. They also kill more people per year than sharks do. | |

The X-Files: This trope is usually subverted, parodying the concept. Subverted in the episode "Eve" (also where the page quote originates from). Mulder presents a case involving dead exsanguinated cows and a man murdered in the same way. His theory is that its the work of aliens, and he is usually right to certain degree. In this case, however, he was completely off. Murderous creepy little cloned girls created in a Super-Soldier project were the villains of the episode. Episode "Bad Blood" also featured Mulder's slide show of several pictures with exsanguinated cows, but this was, in Mulder's opinion, a case of classic vampirism, and the aliens were not even brought up. Also subverted in "The Rain King," where Mulder has an interaction with an abducted cow that crashes through the roof of his motel room. But while the cause for this is supernatural, it's not aliens. |

In the Fallout 3 expansion Mothership Zeta, you can collect various audio tracks of the aliens forcing abducted earthlings to speak, which most of them give their name and some info as to what time period they were taken from. One of these tapes features a cow mooing. Elsewhere on the ship, the player can find a button which beams a Brahmin (that's one of the two-headed mutated cows found around the wasteland) into a room to be immediately vaporized by an upgraded alien weapon. In one section of the ship you end up in a trash elevator with Sally (the abductee who's been serving as your guide through the ship). The elevator keeps stopping at and opening up the hatch at different floors. Most of the floors feature aliens who'll shoot at you, but one floor has a herd of Brahmin (the aforementioned 2-headed cows), causing Sally to shout "Cows, we've got cows!". | |

Inverted in Enchanted Portals, as the human player characters are abducted into a UFO by a cow, who appears to be commanding the fleet. In the background of the stage, there are framed pictures on the command console; one of a moustached alien labelled 'Dad' and one of an elderly cow labelled 'Mom'. Of course, in the third phase of the fight, the cow turns out to have been a robot the whole time. | |

Spoofed in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Conspiracy Theorist Yasuhiro Hagakure tells his incredulous classmates that he once bought lunch from a new fast food restaurant touting 100% beef burgers. As he was leaving the building, his burger was suddenly ripped out of his hands by a UFO tractor beam, which then proceeded to dissect it in midair and take only some of the burger patty, returning the rest of the burger to him. He immediately stormed right back into the restaurant and accused them of false advertising, because everyone knows aliens only steal cows, therefore the burger obviously wasn't 100% beef or else they would have taken the whole patty. | |

Sneakers: The conspiracy nut Mother claims that President Dwight D. Eisenhower did a deal with the aliens: They got all the cattle they wanted in exchange for alien technology. Becomes a Brick Joke later on, when Mother is reading the newspaper and casually says, "Cattle mutilations are up" like he's reading the stock reports. |

The player can actually do this in the original Destroy All Humans! Careful with the hatch there. "MOOOO" CLUNK. Hilarity. In relation to the intro text, the aliens mistake the cows for the dominant earth life form. Which kind of makes sense. They stand around all day, get fed and milked by the two legs... The Turnipseed Farm map's Abduction mission involves stealing all the area's cows. Orthopox has a taste for hamburgers, and the Rockwell map's Rampage mission has him release them all just so you can cook them for him by shooting them with your Desintegrator Ray. In the Updated Re Release for the PS4, nabbing a cow with your Flying Saucer's Abduct-o-Beam nets you the "As Is Tradition" trophy. | |

One issue of Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam (which also was part of a DC Kids anthology for Free Comic Book Day) had the Space Ghoul doing this. One farmer cunningly disguises his cows with clothes and false beards, though this doesn't work for long. It turns out that the Ghoul thought the cows were sapient and wanted to ask them an important question: where he could find a hamburger with cheese? | |

Dandadan: The crab-like gig worker alien was only working for the antagonistic Serpo aliens because he needed to pay for his sick son's blood transfusions. It all works out when it turns out his species' blood has the exact same composition as cow milk, so the protagonists gift him a milk cow to take back on his spaceship and he becomes their loyal ally (although it later turns out cows can't survive on his home planet, so him and his son later come live on Earth as farmers instead). | |

Animorphs: In the last Megamorphs book (set mostly in an alternate timeline) Ax attempts to communicate with cows before humans, having falsely assumed them to be the dominant species. Since Andalites are four-legged grazers themselves (resembling centaurs) it's implied that he was just biased by their vaguely similar shape. It's also mentioned that there happened to be a lot of them around, and that's also why he figured they were in charge. In The Andalite Chronicles the Skrit-Na, a race of not-so-bright traders and pirates, are responsible for a lot of Alien Tropes on Earth (The Grays are their juvenile forms). Among other things Elfangor is unsure why they kill cattle on Earth sometimes. |

In the Insecticomics, when Kickback claimed to be a cowboy to avoid getting a job, Shrapnel and Bombshell called his bluff and brought him a herd of cows so he could work (and to serve him right). The cows were, presumably, stolen. And the Insecticons are alien robots, so... | |

The Neptarians in Casey and Andy like nothing better than "some good old-fashioned cow-burning and inbred-yokel abduction". There's also their fantasy-universe counterparts the Zarb, whose king "enjoys cows in an impure way". | |

In Stellaris, the icon for "active study" of pre-FTL species (which involves abductions) is a cow caught in a tractor beam. | |

In the Switch version of Miitopia, one of the events that can happen during the Ranch outing is the abduction of several sheep by a purple UFO enemy. | |

In the first X-COM game, UFO: Enemy Unknown, some of the UFOs had medical bays containing mutilated cattle corpses. Turns out to be a rare example that has a non-comedic explanation; they're trying to work out what Earth livestock they can use for food after they conquer the planet. | |

One mini-game in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! involves stopping aliens from kidnapping cattle. Later inverted in a stage where you have to defend a robot city from alien sheep in UFOs. | |

Star Control 2: it never comes up directly, but if you ask the human commander about the Arliloulalea, he will mention that very little is known about them, except they've apparently been monitoring our world for awhile, and crack up whenever somebody mentions cattle. | |

The Creepypasta Captain's Log provides an explanation for this with its final twist. After falling into sadistic surgery for its own sake the crew are afflicted with a disorder which causes them to be unable to create new memories. The last experiment on the schedule was a vicious dissection of a cow. And since then they've done it again, and again, and again... | |

In WarioWare Gold, Orbulon goes around abducting pigs in his stage (instead of cattle) in order to have them processed into burgers at the local fast food joint. | |
