He is Pip 's best friend, Daisy 's ex-husband, Lil' Ben 's adoptive father, Abby 's boyfriend, and Ben 's adoptive son. In his youth, Otis lost his biological mother at a county fair when he was a calf. It is unknown what happened to his biological father , but he presumably died of an illness. Afterwards, Otis was adopted by Ben and lived a happy, normal life with him as father and son. They also loved going fishing together. Young Otis getting bullied by young Krauser. When he was young, Otis was constantly bullied by Krauser Krebs , who would beat him up and squeeze the milk out of his udders.
At one point, he had a best friend named Eddie who stole his idea for a product. Afterwards, Otis grew up and made friends with the other animals of the Barnyard. In the film , Otis loses Ben when Dag kills him outside the chicken coop. Devastated and depressed, Otis blames himself for his father's death since he wasn't there for him which even Dag harangues him for.
In the end, Otis is elected the new leader of the Barnyard, defeats Dag and the coyotes , and becomes a father to Daisy 's newborn son Lil' Ben whom he named after his father. Otis is an intelligent, fun-loving, friendly, energetic, happy-go-lucky, mischievous, goofy, carefree, kindhearted, brave, determined, adventurous cow who knows how to work guitars, cell phones, and microphones.
Instead of having strict, serious rules, he would rather have fun with his best friends and mess around all he wants and not take responsibilities. Thus, this argument aligns best with the genre conventions that contextualize Barnyard.
However, the third major possibility deviates widely from the previous two. The final argument frequently seen in this oddly heated space of debate is the concept of Otis as a trans character. Here, the character designers choice was not only that of intentional social progress, but also of defiance.
Thus, by viewing this peculiar choice by Dreamworks and Nickelodeon to give a male cow udders, we can begin to understand udderstand the reaons character design choices might be made: for aesthetics or convenience, to deliver an emotional effect, or to reveal more about the character or the piece as a whole.

Did the drawbacks of featuring a female lead so outweigh the benefits of cow protagonism that a mass species sex-change was required in order for the project to go forward? Are hornless, uddered boy-cows the next big thing in aggressively marketed, reality-displacing fallacies, like Snackwells and intelligent design?
Otis the cow voiced by Kevin James , his alpha cow dad, Ben Sam Elliott , and the thuggish band of Jersey cows Otis teams up with toward the end of the movie are all in unfortunate possession of protuberant udders that look like rubber toilet plungers with four wobbly cocktail weenies attached. Reader, there were times when I felt compelled to avert my eyes and pray for pants.
The crassness of the image, which we can assume was entirely unintentional, pales in comparison to the sad vulgarity of its characters and story. The movie opens on a bucolic farmyard dotted with cute country animals. The look is appealingly old-fashioned at first, luridly colorful and surreally deep, as though looked at through a View-Master. But as soon as the farmer goes off in his truck, the animals stand up and start acting like idiots.
The premise is that when humans turn their backs animals revert to living lives very much like our own -- that is, they exist in a state of protracted, excitement-addled, media-saturated arrested development.
There is one grown-up on the farm, namely Ben, an aggrieved manager type who is forever trying to round up the other animals into meetings.
