Aha and then somebody got it politically correct and changed the name 
to "WIFE"

Subject: [Dixielandjazz] Hooking Cows

    In the late 1800's the "hooking cow" was a lady who considered 
herself
superior and thus eminently qualified to govern the towns "Society."  
Those
familiar with herds of cattle
well know that each herd has a matriarch or lead cow. This is not a
hereditary position but is the product of energetic application of her 
horns
or, in rare cases, her muley-headed head, until the herd has accepted 
her
right to leadership. Same thing applied to ladies of that time period.
