Moig. - The animals on our farm are: cows, horses, sheep, swine, calves, hens and ducks. The names of our cows are: Magpie, Red, Black and Blue. When driving the cows in or out of the field "How on" is said and "Sook on" to calves.The cow houses are made of stone and mortar and are of a long shape. The cow houses are called cow sheds. The cows are tied with stalls. The stalls are made of a big beam set in cement about three feet from the back wall. Over head is a similar beam set in the wall.
