The goat is another useful animal. She gives us milk as the cow does. Her milk is said to be more healthy than the cows. It is often given to delicate babies. Farmers generally have a goat along with their cattle for luck. The goat is called bu saying, "Kiddie, Kiddie."
When calling calves one says "Suck, Suck." When calling turkeys one says, "Yib Yib." Ducks are called by saying "Wheetie, Wheetie."
