Erik,

I think you'll find it's a touch of irony, not the Alanis Morrissette style 
where she gets irony confused with inconvenience. That type of cow on the 
album is a Brahmin bull, a massive beast thats common on the enormous cattle 
stations in Queensland, W.A. & the N.T.

And their environmental impact is just as devastating here as it is in the 
US, believe me.
