I have actually worked with cattle, dairy cows to be specific.

They line up somewhat, but never in numerical order. There are certain ones that are always in the milk parlor first and others that tend to be near the end but the exact order changes.

When they get in the barn, they typically find a stall quickly, it is open boarding, but there are a few that insist on trying to get where another cow already is or they do not like the only open stall that may be available.

There are few morsels of food to keep them somewhat occupied while they are getting milked.

Except for the fact the they do not get anywhere while they are in the barn, it sounds like every airline to some extent.

Except for this: Every darn one of them waits until they are in the barn to do a huge number 2. They come in with a grimace on their face that says they have been holding back just for this moment. I hate cows. I love steak, though.
