  1. Farm Animals and Their Habits

    Share Share Post
    On our farm we keep sheep. They consist of ewes, wethers, and a ram. We keep cows heifers, bullocks, and calves.
    Around the house we keep hens, chickens and geese. When we want to call the hens we say "chuck chuck". When we want to call the geese we sat "bada bada".
    When we want to feed the sheep we say "chuff chuff". When we call the cows we say "prough prough" and when we are driving the cow we say "habha habha"
