Synopsis

Every morning, hundreds of cows are herded to the landfill site. They turn the area into their home; a place to eat, sleep, play, and mate. A few cows are lucky enough to return to the farm on the evening. A few others have to spend the night there because their owners live far away from the landfill site.
