- The following is a list of the farm animals. The cow, horse, donkey, goat and sheep
We must be kind to all animals but the cow comes first. When calling her to be milked we say "Prug Prug" and when driving her out we say "Go on Hey up" The rest of the animals are good in their own way especially the horse and sheep. The latter gives us wool to make blankets socks and tweeds. The goats milk is considered very nourishing. We call the goat "Ginny"- Collector
