A herd of cows is known for being docile, so the simile is saying that the person wants to break us so that we will be docile and easy to control when we're put up for sale.
Context: He wants to break us, so that when we're put up for sale, we will be docile.
Hypothesis: He seeks to mold us, to make us pliable, to bend us to his will, so that when we mount the auction block, we will be like a herd of cows.

Given this context, determine if the hypothesis is true (Yes, no, or unknown)?
