    Domestic Animals.
    Those are the names of the domestic animals: cow, horse, sheep, pig, goat. The fowl are hens, ducks geese, chickens.
    When we are diving in the cows we say "go up". The cow house is white washed inside. There are mangers in it for the hay. There is a division between each cow.
    The cows are tied to a chain that is attached to the wall and there is a rope or a chain put around each cow's neck
    People say if you were humming when milking the cow she would give more milk.
    The sheep is a very quiet animal are out in the fields
