  1. The list of farm and domestic animals I have at home:
    Cows
    Calves
    Pigs
    A Horse
    Dogs
    Cats
    When we are driving the cows out to the field we say "How How". The cows house is usually made of pillars and corrugated iron and inside are pillars with chains or ropes attached to them to tie around the cows neck. When we call the calves to come to us we say "Suck Suck". There are some names for horses such as Tom and Molly and Harry. We have two dogs and seven cats at home the names of the dogs are Rover and Shep. When we are driving horses or donkeys we say go on. When we call pigs we say "Wat Wat".
