Sounds like it may be by the now-defunct New York nu-metal band called
Boiler, known for their funky lyrics. Their website no longer exists,
and none of their lyrics show up in the most common places. In terms
of "cow" themes, Boiler released an EP in 2000 called "Yee-Haw," which
has a track entitled "Beefsteak," but I have been unable to find even
a clip. In 2002, with a new singer, the band released a cow-themed
album called "Cow Tipping in C Sharp." You can probably tell from the
clips/tracks at the URLs below if this is the band, but I don't think
any of these is the exact song you want.

Here's a review of the EP "Yee-Haw!" with the list of tracks (no clips):

Also, here is an excerpt from a 2003 interview with Will Price, the
frontman/bassist for the band, with a strong "cow" theme:
Tell me about your new album, Cow Tipping in C Sharp.
Our first guitar player left the band in December of '99. J.(our
drummer) and I decided to keep the band going. We felt there was still
lots of fields to be raked for Boiler. Brian Robarge was this great
guitar player that we knew from the next town over. His band Hammer
Mill had just split up, so we tried him out and everything fit just
right. We started writing Cowtipping and low and behold, we had a
record that we were not only very proud of, but one that would leave
all the girls wanting to have some udders between their very own
fingers. We have caught some crap about the in-between snip-its that
show up through out the album and to those people I say FU. It's not
only a continuous story with not much point to it, but it's also fun.
If ya don't like it, all the snip-its have their own ID's, so ya can
just skip over 'em. It's just a lot of fun, pissed, heavy, groovey
songs with no rap. You can tap yer foot to it or slam yer best friend
into a wall to it fer crimaney sake. We call it dirtcore, redneck
meets hardcore.
Do you fear titles like Cow Tipping in C Sharp and Yee Haw might
confuse some people into thinking Boiler is a country band? Obviously
your upstate life does impact what you are doing, how do you bring
your geographic area into your music?
There are a lot of cows here. Our first c.d., The New Professionals:
Rules for Industrial Slammitude and Groovination confused people fer
sure. Some thought we were an industrial band. We just took the name
of an owners manual for a forklift, changed it a bit, and that's how
we named our first album. At this point, I don't try to think of what
folks may or may not think. I just think of what I and the band wants
to do. There are lots of farms and chicken coups and cows here in
Ithaca, NY. Rednecks and pick-ups. We talk of our lives and our
enviorment.

If you think this is the band, you could post that as a clarification
and someone with more resources than I can probably find the actual
song. |
