  2. The Care of Farm Animals

    We give the calves milk to drink every morning, and evening. When they are able to eat grass, we give them calf meal mixed with the milk. We tie a saucepan on their muzzles, until they are two weeks old, because if not, they would eat hay, and it would be bad for them. When we are going to feed them we call them, sook! sook! sook! sook!
