I hope you will download the Test Herd as well, it’s a herd of cows that you can play with to get to know the program and try things out with. You’ll get a much better idea of what the program can do than if you just put your cows in. It needs to be extracted as well.

When you have the program and the Test Herd working you can go back to your ‘Downloads’ folder, leave the extracted 'Test Herd' folder and delete the rest to clean things up.
