- The farm animals we have at home are the cow, horse, ass, goat and the sheep. We also keep a cat and a dog.
The names we call our cows are the "Blue cow" the "Grey cow" the "Black cow" and the "Polly" cow. When driving cows people say "Hurse". I dont know what it means but it is a word the old people use.
