Distracting sound effects

The story while somewhat interesting but had continuous interruption by repetitive and inappropriate sound effects. The editing placed horse winning that was continuous at inappropriate places. At other times, cow bellowing was so loud that you could not even hear the narration. If someone who knew livestock and ranching would have consulted this could have been a very interesting and enjoyable read. As it is, this one is a good one to skip.
