    The animals at home are, Horses, cows, pigs, sheep, hens, & ducks.
    The cows names are "White Legs" "Long Horns. When you call the cows you say "Pue Pue Pue" when calling hens "chuc chuc chuc", turkeys "biad biad biad" pigs "bác bác bác".
    The cows house is cleaned out every day. There is a division for each cow & also a manger for them to eat out of. When setting ahen & you know there was going to be thunder you would put a shoe under the hen.
