BOZEMAN, Montana (AP) -- Rancher Skip Hougland figured it was an offer he couldn't refuse.
Bring in a cow, get a free "Moolatte."
So he took Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuart, a Scottish Highland steer who generally goes by "Charlie," to a local Dairy Queen Tuesday and got a free treat as part of a corporate promotion.
Hougland, who owns Bridger Mountain Scottish Highlands, brought Charlie to town from his Willow Creek ranch after reading that people who brought a cow to the business would be rewarded with a free coffee-flavored Dairy Queen version of a latte.
Charlie, who is 10, was the only animal that made an appearance at any of the area outlets of the Minneapolis-based chain.
Store manager Minde Erickson said she was surprised Hougland showed up with Charlie. "It seems like a lot of work."
After numerous children finished marveling at Charlie, who has short legs, shaggy red hair and long horns nearly the width of the trailer he rides in, Hougland put the steer back in the trailer and collected his reward.

Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.
MEYER
Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
