the neighbors cows doesnt moo that much, they are black angus cows. Well I notice the farmer put the cattle in a small pen like there bunch up together with no food or water. and when he does that he gets rid of them the next day. Last night i believe he put them up around 7 or something.. plus it was a full moon and they mooed all night like crazy.
do you know any other farmers that do that?

I come from farm people and i have never seen or heard of this . However when cows moo most of the night there is a problem such as a predator sneeking around ...like a coyote or a wolf or maybe even a fox . Now if he is getting ready to transport them maybe he does this so he does not have to round them up in the am ...I dont know .

It's going to be pretty close to weaning time, depending which part of the country you're in. That would cause the mama cows to moo for their lost babies.

The above requires some interpretation, but it sounds like the calves are being sent off to summer camp. A cow that has been separated from her calf will low in an attempt to call the calf back to her. |

I see you have the same answer that I have. It seems more than one person on this thread to spend some time working with cattle. |
