They don't want to answer any more questions about their cows. I make them nervous with my questions.

Heifers are seen on the surrounding hillsides but not in numbers that one would think would be needed for a herd this size.

If there is a chance to get more info on the cows or to get into the barn I'll do so. The farmers are a little freaked out about me asking more questions about their cows.

They have horses too, maybe I'll start asking more about them instead.
