- (continued from previous page)The floor is made of paving stones. There is a channel in every cow house. The people hang a horse-shoe in the cow house to bring luck. Sometimes the people tie a red ribbon on a cow’s tail after calfing.
The cows are called different names. They are called horny humpy back white feet long tail short tail white face. When driving them to the field the people say “Hercha” or “Herch”.
