The village elder there asks me to train some of his villagers.

Where and how do I get cattle? I wander some more, and figure that another village will give me a more straightforward quest (or at least have cattle for sale or something). I wander into a nearby village, and the elder gives me a quest - his village needs 7 cattle. After that, I have no idea where to go or what to do. I do, but it's a lot like the tutorial, so I figure it's redundant. It dropped me in the middle of this huge map and then left me to my own devices, the only hint it gives is that I should try out the training grounds. Today, I started up Mount & Blade, played through the tutorial, and then started the game proper.

So, I understand that this game is a really deep rpg, and have often heard it mentioned alongside Crusader Kings (which I absolutely love), so when it went on sale on Steam recently, I was intrigued enough to buy the bundle containing Mount and Blade, M&B: Warband, and M&B: With Fire and Sword.
