    The Care of our Farm Animals
    We have several animals at home. Cows, Pigs, Calves, a horse, Hens, Chickens and Cats.
    The cows names are "[...]", she is a black brown, "Spot", who is red and white, and "Baby". When we want to bring them in, we just call them by their names.
    The cows are the nicest creatures I think. They are tied in cowhouse with a chain and hook and attached to a pole. There is a manger in front of each. The chain is tied around each cows neck.
    We give cows turnips
