    The names of our cows at home are Jessie, Herry, Primrose and Jubertine. The place where my cows are kept is called a byre. They are tied with chains round their necks. Palm is very lucky in a byre, because one time all the cattle were dying and St Brigid told the people to put palm in their byres and the cattle got better.
