    Care of our farm Animals
    The cow, horse, cat, dog, sheep ass goat are all the domestic animals of the farm
    Usually when we are driving cows or calves we say "How How"
    The cow house is called the byre it consists of a group of stakes and a manger, the cows are tied to the stakes by the necks with chains
    Often the may bush is hung in the byre to bring good luck on the stock
