   This is a list of animals, a horse a cow a sheep a dog a cat and a goat. I have heard a lot of names of cows. Cappoquin, Mitchelstown, Cahir, the little black, the reds, and the herry. I often heard people use the words how, bring em on. Most cowhouses are made of concrete walls and sheet iron roofs. I do not know any other name for it. Almost all cows are tied.
