    Farm animals and their Habits 21:23:37
    On our farm there are different kinds of animals. Some of them are cows, calves, bullocks and heifers. There is also a horse and an ass.
    When calling the cows we say "prough prough" We call the calves by saying "suck suck" The horse and the ass are called by "prow prow"
    The poultry consist of hens, ducks, drakes, and geese. When calling the hens we say "church chuch" The ducks and drakes and are called by saying "wheeh wheeh" When calling geese say "bada bada"
