When Cows Cry

In addition to the mourning cries of women, I heard another type of wailing for the first time this week. Cows. Apparently, when cows see an animal skin they “cry.” This uniquely disturbing noise started at about midnight as our herd caught sight of the drying skins from lunch. From the noise I was convinced a hyena was attacking our livestock, but no – just the mourning cries of cattle. Who knew.
