    We have A Cow and a pony. We Call the cow Pol. When we are driving the cow into the field we say How! How! The Cowhouse is one for three cows. It is made of zinc and has a trough from one end to the other. The floor is sloped from the trough to the wall and there is a narrow drain about an inch deep close to the wall. The cow is tied with an Iorn chain around the Neck. We bed the cow with Straw.
