It's my understanding that they do keep actual cows, but they're probably a different breed than the shaggy cows of Sartar -- they may well be based on a Pelorian stock (obtained via Tarsh), which according to "Opal" have much shorter hair. The Pol Joni do live on the western fringes of Prax, which might have enough water for cattle. (Cows probably can live in Prax, judging from the bone-thin cattle I saw in Baja California.)

Wow, I don't think you could have picked a much harder first question. There's very little known about any of the Second Age cultures.
When I put together my "Diet of Wyrms" mini-LARP, I assumed that the EWF was based heavily on the Heortling tribes at its core, but was a true empire, in that it didn't really assimilate its constituent cultures forcibily. (That Dara Happa seemed quite happy replacing its normal emperor with a Dragon Emperor seems to reflect this latter.)
It's known that the Orlanth Dragonfriend priests had extensive control over the Orlanth religion (because Alakoring had to explicitly break their power).
BTW, if you could turn off MIME extensions when posting to the list, it'd be helpful.
