Unfortunately, while a cow detective my put thoughts like this into your head...

...it turns out that "cattle detective" is for more prosaic, and boring:

"An ace operative of the Cattleman's Association?" Boooo!! We want cow detectives!!

Bonus: Nevada Jones is a terrible jerk!

Bonus bonus: he a terrible racist jerk!!!

Bonus bonus bonus: He's a terrible murderous racist jerk!!!!
