  1. We have four cows two horned cows and two black polly cows.
    We keep them in all night and out during day. We say "hursh" and "how" when driving them. Our cows are very good for milk. They give between two and three gallons each every day. We send some of the milk to the creamery in Balla and we give some milk to the calves and we churn the rest.
