    The animals my father has are cows calves horses pigs and sheep.
    The cows are tied in a cow house with bales. Bales are two sticks standing up and another one overhead and another one on the ground and one of the ones standing up pulls back to get the cow's head in and then push back the stick standing up it is fastened on top The calves are tied in bales also.

    The sheep stay out on the hill.
    The horses stay in the stable and are tied with a head collar.
    When you are hunting the sheep you say hey sheep.
    When you are calling the pigs you say dock dock. When you are calling the hen you say chuck chuck
