“What newspaper do cows read?”/“The Moo York Times.”

The New York (NY) Times has a cow riddle:
 
Q: What newspaper do cows read?
A: The Moo York Times.

 
The joke has been cited in print since at least 2009. The cow riddle was popularized on the American adult animated sitcom Family Guy in 2014.
 
“What newspaper do cows read?”/“The Daily Moos” is a similar cow joke. “Where do cows go on vacation?”/“Moo York” is a similar “Moo York” cow joke.
