- The farm animals we have at home are, Horses, Cattle, Sheep and Pigs. All our cows have names. The names of our cows are, Polly, Rosy, Sally, Curly, Whip Tail and Long Horns. Some of the cows get their names by their colour and others of them from where they came from.
It is generally "how, how" is said to the cows when bringing them in "suck, suck" to the calves. The cows go through all the fields. The cowhouse is a big long wide house. It is the biggest house on the farm. The cows are tied with a chain to a stake. Some of the cows are tied by the horns and others are tied by the neck.
