Across the river from my house is a farm that has cows.  I assumed it was a dairy farm but I learned they raise cattle for beef. Sometimes I hear cows crying.  Now that I know the cows are beef cows I know they're not crying because they want to be milked.  The cows I hear crying are probably mother cows crying for their young who were taken away.  I've listened to a cow crying the last two days.  I can hear it mainly at dusk and dawn when other noises are less.
