- The most common farmyard animals are- cows, goats, asses, dogs, Bulls, and horses.People give pet animals a name such as Bess, Polly, and Rose.When driving home the cows we say "How, How, How" or we say to the dog "Tanam."We say "puish, puish" to the cat, and "hurish, hurish" to the pigs. We say "phew, phew" when calling the cows, and "phru, phru" to the horse. We call turkeys by "Bee, Bee' and the geese by "Badhy, Badhy".
