Mr. Putnam and his 15-year-old son, Billy, are working in their barnyard. That chores are interrupted as a car enters the yard, and the man hails them from the driver's seat. Hello there. Yeah? Are you, Mr. Putnam? That's right.

Oh, very well. Who's that, Pop? I don't know. I never see him before. Nice-looking car. Yeah. How do you do, Mr. Putnam? How do you do, Chief? My name is Grant, Sir. George Grant. I wonder if I could have a few minutes of your time, sir.

Well, if you're selling something, Mr. Grant, I can tell you right now. Quite the contrary, Mr. Putnam. Quite the contrary. I'm here to buy. What do you mean? Tell me. How many cows do you have here on your farm?

About 60 head. 60, eh? Well, Sir, I am prepared to take them off your hands. Where do you ever get the idea I wanted, Shel? That's what your neighbors are doing. Pop, does he mean everyone selling their cows?

That's right, young man. Well, what's the purpose of all this? Haven't you heard of the meat shortage, sir? Yes. Folks in the city need meat very badly. Oh, sure, yes, but this is dairy country.
