WMG / Back at the Barnyard

This series (along with the Pilot Movie) takes place in the same universe as the Jimmy Neutron-franchise.

The series does take place in the same continuity as the Pilot Movie, but some of the animals featured in the movie have either passed away or were moved to different farms.

The reason they never made an episode where Dag comes back to get revenge on Otis was because it would either have been far too dark for the series or Dag and his cronies would've suffered a major case of Villain Decay.

"Otis vs. Bigfoot" is Bigfoot's first appearance on the show—the events of all other episodes featuring Bigfoot (in one way or another) take place after it.

The bulls with udders, along with the infertility problems, are side effects of steroid medication (to make them grow faster) of the animals by the farmer.

Otis is Transgender

Otis is a transgender cow who was turned into a steer, but they forgot to remove the udders.

• Robot Chicken definitely took notice of this.

Alternately, Otis is a Bifauxnen

And a lesbian, apparently.

More Alternately, Otis is Intersex

Otis is a freemartin who identifies as male.

The farmer is a Mad Scientist

Otis (and, in The Movie, his "father" Ben) are the results of the farmer's sick, twisted experiments, creating a female cow with a male cow's personality, behaviors, and identity. Additionally, Freddie the "ferret" is actually an abomination created by the farmer by fusing several different species' genetic codes together into an unholy combination that does not even remotely resemble a real ferret in appearance or personality, and is only called such to hide the fact that he's actually the result of a disturbing fusion. Freddie's parents were also created by the farmer as additional cover-up - if they appear to be a family, then it's not nearly as obvious that they were engineered into existence.

The TV show is an alternate reality from the Movie

Ben and Daisy never existed. Otis "raised" himself growing up, which is why he can't even spell his own name on the show; nor has he learned his lessons on responsibility. Bessie arrived with the calf Joey (instead of Daisy) at the farm during the movie's timeline and Abby got there later (which is why Bessie knew who Wild-Mike was while Abby didn't). Duke, while he still isn't respected as leader, doesn't have the same deep rooted jealously that was seen in the movie either.

Wild Mike is a young Bigfoot

He was either abandoned or orphaned when he was little, then later wandered onto the farm. No one knows about this because Wild Mike hasn't grown up or gotten any bigger.

This show is set in the same universe as Kung Fu Panda

Both series have the same artwork and style to them, but Kung Fu Panda takes place in seemingly feudal China whereas Back At The Barnyard is set in modern America. In Kung Fu Panda we rarely see any humans, if any at all. Maybe sometime after Kung Fu Panda 3 humans resurfaced and gained back control of China by slaughtering almost all the animals that took power, forcing them to retreat to America and go into hiding. As the centuries passed their kind grew thinner and there was only so many left, since then these special animals had to hide the fact that they spoke in order to avoid extinction. Which leads all the way down to Back At The Barnyard, the reason for why the barn animals are so afraid of exposing themselves to their farmer.

Pig isn't Pig's real name

He just goes by the nickname "Pig" because his real name is far too embarrassing to discuss.

The entire show is just insane dream Freddy is having in the movie universe

This would explained all the weirdness, Toon Physics and inconsistency with the movie that was fairly realistic aside from the talking, bipedal animals. And you're probably asking me: why does this have to be Freddie's dream? Well, of the main characters, he is the most nervous one, and in comedies these types of characters always have crazy dreams.
