Citing his fear of incidents like Earl's murder, Ennis nixed Jack's proposal of a sweet life together.

Ennis turned down Jack's idea of a cow and calf operation, because he was afraid of what the neighbours might think.

Jack didn't want to work just any random  cow and calf operation, what he wanted was for them to have their own.

"The summer ends and both men go off to the rest of their lives. Ennis marries his sweetheart Alma (Michelle Williams), and Jack, moving to Texas, falls into a marriage with Lureen (Anne Hathaway), a rodeo rider with a well-to-do father. They think that what happened on Brokeback Mountain is over, but it is not. For what Ennis and Jack reluctantly come to realize is that, all unawares, they have stumbled into the great love of their lives, with all the problems and complications that implies for themselves and the others in their life. In a profound sense, because of the pressures of the time and place they live in, they are lost whether together or apart, riven by the agonizing longing they feel, by the chances not taken and the choices just out of reach."
