- We have three cows, one calf, two horses, three pigs, and two donkeys. The domestic animals that we have are twelve hens, two turkeys, six ducks and a dog. Our cows have no names. When I am calling the calves I say suck, suck "suck." It is a custom in this district to make the sign of the cross on the cows with milk when they are finished.
