His first real conversation with Hershel was in “Cherokee Rose” when Hershel invited him to take a look at the gorgeous countryside around his farm. Their final conversation in the series (compounded even further by the death of Creator/ScottWilson preventing any future appearances of his character) begins with Hershel asking the same thing of Rick.
