- At home we have six cows, six suckling calves, and four sheep, two donkies a dog and a cat.
The cow's names are: Nellie, Daisy, Rosaleen, Bessie, BUnny and Trish.
When we be bringing home the cows to be milked or driving them we say "how", how." When we are calling the calves to feed them we say "suck," "suck" When I be gathering the sheep and if the start running and wrong I call them byt the name "shovney" and they tame down

There is no branch of any kind(continues on next page)
