The cows have got names.
The names of the cows are
Miss Pinions, Kenny cow, and Mottley cow.
They are tied to stakes and tied around the neck.
There is no branch or emblem hung up in the cowhouse.
When we call the cows home we say "Sue home Sue home" and "Suck-Suck" to the calves. We call the hens by saying "Chuc-Chuc" and the turkeys by saying "Pee-Pee" and the Ducks "Lute-Lute" and geese "Lag-Lag" the pigs "Dock-Dock" and sheep "Ma-Ma" and the goats "Minnie-Minnie"
There are black marks which vary in size and shape put on the hatching eggs.Susie Rynhart,
