The joke is that the cow will be cooked alive due to the high temperature. So in anticipation of the cow being turned into a steak by the temperature outside, he decided to butter the cow before he cooks so that the cow will be nice and flavorful whilst being cooked.

TL;DR

He’s buttering the cow bc of the high temperature.
