overcrowded and malnourished cows; unable to build shrine

I have 2 questions.

1. On the tula screen, oftentimes if I pass the mouse over the cows the line at the bottom reads "these n cows are overcrowded and malnourished." Yet on the agriculture screen, the ring members say we have more pasturage than we need. What gives? If the cows are not producing as well as they could, shouldn't an advisor tell me to expand the pastures? If not, then why the message that appears just on the tula screen?
2. Having sacrificed for Humakt's blessings and having a Humakti on the ring, I was nonetheless unable to build a Humakt shrine. I thought perhaps that it was too cold, being dark season, for construction. But the same held true in Storm Season. The button stubbornly remained unlit, and provided no explanation. Usually if you can't build/expand a temple, the message will be "you don't have enough worshipers/sacrifice for blessings before building a shrine/you can't afford it, you busted stickpicker, you." What gives?
