7. Thanks, I was going to post that

The aurochs with calf plus four dots, I'm surprised nobody figured it out before now (I hadn't seen it in its entirety). The aurochs would have dropped the calf 4 moons past the midwinter solstice, mid March to late April, roughly when modern cattle do. I have to wonder if some herding was already taking place, the main reason you'd want to know when the calves would arrive is to know when the milk would arrive, although I can't imagine pinching it from something as ornery as an aurochs.
