    We keep cows and calves on our land at home.
    They live in a stable at night and the name that is on this stable is the cow house.
    They are let out every day in the field, and they are brought home in the evening and put into the stable where they are tied. Their tyings are chains, with a rope tied to each chain which is passed around the animals neck and then fastened. The chains are attached to a piece of iron which is stuck down deep in the ground.
