  1. Farm Animals

    Share Share Post
    We have cows, horses, pigs and sheep at home. We have a flaged floor in the byre, and there is a grate down the middle of the floor. There are six stakes and there is a chain attached to each. The cows are tied with the chain. They are tied round the neck. Blessed palms and bottles of holy water are left in the office houses to bring good luck to the animals in the house.
