Best Answer

When Tim and Father go to Verplank's Point to sell cattle, they are stopped by cowboys. The cowboys say that they don't want the cattle to be sold to the british, since the rebels are short of every supply they need, but really just want to take the cattle and sell it themselves for money and other stuff. They really didn't care who got the cattle.
