   Share Share Post

   On our farm we have horses, cows, sheep, goats, and pigs.
   We don't have any special names on our cows but when driving them we say "Tdow' Tdow".
   The place where the cows are kept is called a cow house it's a long narrow building with a tie for each cow which is called a bail. There is also a manger in the cow house which is used for putting the cows food in.
   The cows are tied around the neck with a chain which is made from iron and bought in a shop.

   The horse gets more attention than any other animal. The place where the horse is kept is called a stable. The floor which is (generally) in a horses stable is generally paved. The horse is left in the stable during the whole winter and left out in the field in summer. When the horse is left in the stable in winter he gets a good bed of straw.
