Thank you kindly.  Feedback makes all the letter-juggling worthwhile.

Any insults are fairly light-hearted, if memory serves.
  Do you think this would work better:

Iowa:                     "A cow. Again."
North Carolina:           "A pig..."

...as if someone were looking out a car window while driving through?
These states are near/at the top of the list for production/growing
said livestock.

I doubt I'd come up with anything relevant _and_ good.  But here's a
quick stab, with liberal input from the stereotype pot:

AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS
MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD TN TX UT VT VA WA WV
WI WY
