The Steaks Have Never Been Higher Flying Cow Pun Meme

This image is a screenshot of a viral short-form video showing a black and white cow that appears to be flying or leaping high in an overcast gray sky above a line of trees and the edge of a house rooftop, likely the result of a forced perspective trick making the cow (which is probably jumping close to the camera) appear to be much higher in the air. A top comment on the video reads "the steaks have never been higher", which is a humorous pun playing on the common phrase "the stakes have never been higher", replacing "stakes" with "steaks" to reference the cow, an animal commonly used to produce steak, paired with the visual of the cow being extremely high up.
