- The usual farm animals are:- cows, horses, hens and asses. Cows have no special names. Cows are tied by their necks with chains to poles two feet high. When milking cows people say "Pruggie" to keep them quiet. To call calves people say "suck suck".When driving horses the driver says "gee up". To call hens and chickens "chuck chuck" is usually said. Ducks and turkeys usually come with the same calls.
