Cow's without horns are maolie cows. The cow's tyings are made out of a chain. A short and a long piece of a chain is bolted in the wall so that it will not break.
The cow's tyings are not home made but some people get them made with a black-smith.
The real old custom of milking is before going out to milk they wash their pails well, and when they have finished milking they bless the cows with the froth that is on the milk
Usually in every farmers cow's and horses stables there is a holy picture or a piece of palm over the door to keep the cows in good luck.
