Many cattle raiders swear by a Hereford in black silk thigh-highs. But
about this naked cow concept, are we talking about some bovine variant
on the Mexican Hairless, or just a cow in its skivvies or less?

Then, with Graf Viktor, there was only one very specific naked cow (a
term I would use both veeeeery loosely and at my extreme peril) that
would really attract his attention. I don't remember if she was
available at the time...
