- We have six cows, and four calves. We have given names to the cows, such as, Dysart, the black cow, Lisheen cow, Matilda, Malone’s cow and Scully. We tie them in chains in a cow-house. We call the calves :- Broderick, the roan calf, the honest calf and the polly. When we are putting them in to milk they all know their places. The tieings we have for them were not made in this country. If ever a cow spilt the milk we would say “Bad luck from you.” We put straw as bedding under them.
