They mean pretty much the same here in Australia - I guess I would translate 
it slightly differently - cow = lazy not necessarily fat in my dictionary, 
to me cow is the lazy form of bi**h. Donkey means being idiotic, stupid, 
dumb. Personally we don't use the term cow in our house, nor do we use 
donkey. The dog however is frequently referred to as a "turkey" or "banana" 
dog. (the latter referring to her acting as of she has a bent brain - 
usually when she is chasing her tail,  the cat or having a fight with the 
sheepskin rug in my bedroom :-))))

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
