    the young pigs are small. They eat out of a tray which is laid on the floor, and all the pigs eat out of the same tray. They have to get a nice straw bed under them occasionally.
    Goats are kept much in the same way as pigs. Sometimes goats are tied in the byre with the cows. Some goats stay out at night. They drink bran, and sometimes they eat turnips and other goats eat straw.
    Sheep do not have a house to stay in only in cold winter nights. They have a house like the pigs and goats. They are not tied.
