The Care of Our Farm Animals
“We have names on some of our cows:-”
We have names on some of our cows:
Frazer, Horny, Polly, and the Spotted cow. When driving sheep we say "Shew! Shew!" when calling calves we say "Suck! Suck!". A badge is the emblem mostly seen in the cow houses in our district to bring luck to the cows.
