  1. Care of Animals

    Share Share Post
    A sow when rearing bonhams, should be cared and well fed. The floor should be cemented and swept out every day, and a dry bed of straw put under them to keep them warm. When the bonhams are taken from the sow, they should be left out occasionally to pick up some food that would suit them.
    If a cow calved early in the year she should be kept in and well fed and well bedded; combing with a curry comb now and then will help to keep her clean,
