* KnightOfCerebus[=/=]VileVillainSaccharineShow: Dag. The movie completely loses its comedic beats whenever he appears on screen.

* HumilationConga: Dag gets a rather satisfying one. He never bothers the farm animals again.

* AnimalGenderBender: The "male cow" with an udder, of course.
** To be fair, bulls have nipples, but they don't have udders (and showing actual genitalia wouldn't fly.)

** Otis shouldn't have ''udders''.

** [[spoiler: DyingMomentOfAwesome: Let's face it. Going out beating the crap out of coyotes all while playing the Johnny Cash version of "I Won't Back Down" at the same time is an awesome way to die]]

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: After a boy tries cowtipping some cows, the cows respond with boytipping him.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Otis attempts one [[spoiler:it doesn't end well.]]

* MookChivalry: Averted.

* VillainBall: Ratehr than just quickly kill Otis while he has him pinned down, Dag decided to gloat instead, allowing Otis time to recover.

* TastesLikeChicken: The resident weasel quotes this upon biting a coyote.

* MookChivalry: Averted hard.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: For a movie about farm animals that like to party, the coyotes can be pretty [[NightmareFuel terrifying]].
