Caring for Farm Animals

Here are some tips to make sure you and your animal friends are happy.

Goats and Sheep 

1. If you have a goat and/or sheep do NOT rub its head. If you do it will become a battering ram or buck. 
2. If you did rub its head and it tries to head-butt you, make your hand flat with your fingers together and take the side of your hand and hit the side of its neck (this will stun it). 
3. Make your goat (or sheep) a shelter to get out from the rain (we made one from wood boards and sheet metal) 

Cows 

1. If you have a cow make sure to go out to brush it every morning to every other morning as this will keep your cow(s) coat healthy and sleek. 
2. Try to make sure your cow(s) have plenty of grazing and playing room 

We had a horse who didn't have friends and his owner didn't come ride him so he was by himself and became untamed. When we were moving our cows to a larger area, the horse got crazy and was trying to get to the cows. So when you move your animal(s) if you are renting a place and there is another cow or a horse that is kind of wild, be careful when you are moving your animal and have an adult help you. (If there is a fence you should be between the fence and the cow)

I hope this helped you.
