This was originally going to be a Straight On Till Morning canon article, a sequel to SCP-2008, but I was never wholly satisfied with it. Came back to it years later, felt inspired, and here it is!
We appreciate you sharing it with us, we hope to see more, of course.
EDIT: wups will post the prev post to hateful star because I must've confused the articles when commenting.
Bovine Dreadnaught for the Moopirer of Bovine-kind! Absolutely loved this one. Honestly, the rustlers part is what makes this stick together so well. +1
After 9 years in development, hopefully it would have been worth the wait. Upvote.
Huh. I suppose that explains all the cattle abductions.
Excellent entry, you obviously put a large amount of research into this and it sounds impressively plausible. It's both slightly humorous and a little disturbing, very attention grabbing. I also like the little hint of a whole world of encounters in the last section. Well done.
This reminds me a lot of the "animal planets" where you take all the animals on earth of a species and stick them together in a big sphere to see just how big they get. I like idea of space-cows that also happen to act a bit like ants in the colony behavior. Overall a really nice article, perhaps not concerning or scary but very interesting to say the least.

I thought SCP-088 was weird enough and that things can't get weirder, I was terribly wrong. Good show. +1
Why not crosslink this with 722 since it's mentioned here?
This saga of 088, 888 and 722 is fantastic! I am wondering if it is continued, where would the story go? Is it possible for these "galactic ranchers" and the Authority to make direct contact?
Who knows!? You're more than welcome to add to the Cownstant saga if you like!
This has not right to work, but it does.
Where do I begin? The fact it effectively takes the silly idea of cows in space, a civilisation of ranchers that is superior to us and a literal ship made of cows, or the fact it was able to genuinely creep me out? The tone and grammar are Von™️ so I won’t even bother. The middle section was the best, especially for how detailed it was, almost body-horrorish.
5/5, good shit.
