Question: What direction is the wind blowing FROM?

You answered: East

Sorry! -- Prey animals like horses and cows graze with their tails toward the wind so they can smell any possible threat upwind of them and see anything downwind. Since you are facing the eastern sunrise, those bovines would be facing you if the wind were out of the east.
