- This is a list of domestic animals cows, horses, calves, goats, dogs, and cats.
The big cow; She is the biggest cow we have and that is how she is called the big cow.
The little black cow; She is a small black cow and that is why she is called the little black cow.
The big black cow; She is a big black cow and that is how she got her name.
There is no particular name to say to cows when driving them into the field. In our cowhouse there are three stakes sunk down into the ground and held with a beam at top. There is a ring round the stake and a chain suspended from the ring to go round the cows neck. The cow was tied by the neck. The are tied by means of a chain. If you put a whin over a cows head in a cow house it will bring them luck for the coming year. If you put an old horse shoe at a cow's head it will bring luck also.
