    Here is a list of animals we have at home:-
    Cows, horses, pigs, sheep, hens, calves, and five cats. We have five cows & the names of them are, the "miley", the "shuley" the Dolan cow, the wild cow and the grey one. We have two horses & the names of them are, "Dolly" & "Charley". We have seven pigs, and eight sheep and about one hundred hens, three bantams, & two guinea. hens, & a turkey. We have eight calves, & when driving them I say "hey up" or "go-on".
    When I am calling the hens I say "Tiotfaidh" "Tiochfaidh", and when I am calling the cats I say "pish wish".
