Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

The author assumes that readers will understand that the cows were lowing because they were upset about being separated from their calves. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. The UST models one way to do that.
