The story revolves around a failing dairy farm run by Dan Reilly (John Lynch), who's allowed a government firm to conduct genetic experiments on his cattle. Meanwhile, Jamie (Creator/SeanHarris) and Mary (Creator/RuthNegga), a pair of young [[UsefulNotes/IrishTravellers Traveller]] runaways, end up hiding away on his farm, and Dan insists they leave by morning.

That night, however, one of Dan's cows gives birth to a calf, with Jamie's aid. A calf with ''fangs''. And upon terminating and dissecting the malformed newborn, they soon discover that the calf was itself pregnant with even more mutated [[ChestBurster chest bursters]]...

!!This film provides examples of the following tropes:

* AttackOfTheKillerWhatever: Attack of the killer mutant parasitic dairy cow!
* BodyHorror: The mutant cow is barely even recognizable as a cow at all, save for its head resembling a deformed calf skull. Most of its body is a jumbled exoskeletal mess and it appears to walk on its ''external ribs'' like some kind of bovine centipede.
* ChestBurster: How the mutant cow spawn reproduces, by infecting other cattle and producing parasitic larval offspring that burst out of the cows.
* ExplosiveBreeder: The creature is an unwanted by-product of an experiment to produce more fertile cattle: one that worked a little to well as the calves themselves were born already pregnant with the mutant cow spawn.
* MamaBear: The mother cow is visibly distressed when Dan decides to euthanize her malformed calf, forcing Orla, tge veterinarian, to euthanize her as well for their safety.
* NothingIsScarier: The cow spawn is never shown in full, and with its confusing anatomy, it's difficult to discern what it even looks like save for some behind-the-scenes photos of the adult cow spawn puppet.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: The mutant cow spawn have their skeletons growing on the outside of their bodies.
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: The cow spawn are inexplicably amphibious.
* XenomorphXerox: With chest-bursting parasitic offspring, a tendency to hide in narrow spaces, and an exoskeletal appearance, the cow spawn certainly fit the bill.
