    consists of a manger 3ft = 6 Inches from the ground. The fodder consists of hay and oats. If a horse is cared right the shoes should be taken off every six weeks, and they should be clipped every year. There are no stories of any pigs, goats, or sheep that I know of.
    The calls of our animals are:-
    For the hen:- "Tuic! Tuic!"
    For the TurkeyL- "Buadh! V+Biadh"!
    For the goos:- "Beabaí! Beabaí"!
    For the Goat:- "Jinn! Jinn!"
    For the pig:- "Deoch! Deoch!"
    For the Horse:= "Piseack! Piseock"!
    For the Cow:- "Preeg! Preeg!"
    For theCalf:- "Suck! Suck!"
    These are the names I know.
    Practically all hatching eggs are marked with the sing of a cross before being set to hatch.
