- The names of the animals that are on my farm at home are, cows, calves, horses, pigs and goats. As a rule all the cows have got names, such as, Polly, or white head or red head. When we are driving the cows we saw How!How! much similar with calves.
The cow houses is called a byse or a cow shed. In my district the cows are mostly tied to stakes with chains. In some places there is a branch hung in the byse. I never heard of a horse kept in a stable for seven years. The usual name for calling hens is tuk, tuk, or hens could be called for whistling. A mark is put on hatching eggs to differ them from the rest.
