  1. The Care of Our Farm Animals

    Share Share Post
    Pigs, cows, sheep, horses, poneys and donkeys are the farm animals. The cat and the dog are the domestic animals. The cows names are bawny, cudd, bluey, drom, strawberry maol and polly. "Hubb," is said when the cows are called in and "how," is said when they are driving them out.
    The cowhouse is called a stall. The cows are tied to bales when they are being milked. Their legs are tied when they are kicking.The tyings are made of a rope and are called spancels.
    A certain branch was hung up in the stall to keep away diseases.
