- The care of our farm animalsEvery farmer keeps cows, horses, calves, and sometimes and ass or a goat. We have five milk cows at home. They are called "horney", "buideal a ludaig," "the big grey cow", "the wee grey cow", and the white cow. The cow-house is called the "Byre". The cows are ties to stakes, made of wood, by the necks. A chain is put round the cows' necks, and it is tied to the stakes. When we are driving the cows out to the field we say "howey" "howey".
