"I've worked some with both, at least enough to know they probably shouldn't be wandering around..." He looks around as he things, as if he might spot one of the wayward animals in question here in the middle of town. "I wonder if there are any places for them here. Charlie's idea of hospitality seems...a little limited. But rounding them up is one thing, I'm not sure that I know enough to run a cattle ranch. Chickens, maybe, but not cows."

Hmmm. Wait a minute.

"How long have you been waiting here?"
