You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by
your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption
for five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public then buys your bull.

GERMAN CORPORATION
Have 2 cows that productively produce 16 calves.
They lend 16 Euro countries the money to buy the calves, build a fully German equipped milking centre and a six lane motorway to the capital city for efficient distribution.
Farmer can't afford to use the equipment, so motorway gets unused and the country runs out of money, so all 16 farmers, travel to Germany and milk the 2 original cows dry.
