  1. The Care of Farm Animals

    Share Share Post
    1. The cave of the farm animals is a very important thing because if the animals are not fed and cared well they cannot work well. The cow is the most useful animal on the farm
    2. There are many animals on the farm, the horse, cow, ass, calves, sheep. The most clever animal on the farm is the ass. He has not a nice time as everyone is inclined to be him.
    3. The horse is also very useful animal as well as the cow. The horse brings home the turf for the farmer. He also ploughs and barrows the land for him.
