- Those are the animals usually kept on the farm at home, cows and calves. The cow's name is "Molly". This is what we say when we are driving the cows and calves. "Go on," "How". The stable in which we keep the cows is white washed. There are short thick poles stuck in the ground to which the cows are tied by a chain. The local people sing while milking. There are different calls for different animals we call the hens "tuk tuk" and the ducks "weet weet"
