  1. We had four cows and we sold one of them so now we have only three. One of their names is the Big Yellow Cow. We call her that name because she is a very big large yellow cow. We call an other cow the Polly cow because she has no horns. Then we call the other one the Kerry cow because she is a small black cow. When we are calling the cows we call them, "Prug, Prug, Prug." When we are calling the calves we call them "Such, Such, Such." We keep them in a byre and tie them to stakes. There is a galvanized iron roof on the byre. We fodder the cows with hay every morning and evening.
