- We have three cows namely, Betty and Black cow and Cocked Horns. We have a stable for these cattle. We call it the cow byre.
There are stakes standing by the wall. To these stakes the cows are tied with iron chains round their necks and sometimes they are tied with ropes. There is a rack for each cow's hay. The stable is roofed with galvanized iron and plastered inside with mortar. There is a partition between the cow-byre and the thrashing barn. The partition is built of stone. It is white-washed.(continues on next page)
