Here are some of the animals you might find on a

farm.

Page 3: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

COWS live on farms

Page 4: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

On the farms, cows stay in barns or out in the fields.

Page 5: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

These are dairy cows. They give us the milk we drink.

Page 6: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Cows have big ears, soft, pretty eyes and a long rough tongue. Some cows have horns,

but some do not.

Page 7: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Cow’s tails are long and have a bushy end. Cows use their tails to swat at

flies that bug them!

Page 8: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Many people believe that cows have four stomachs. But really,

they have one stomach divided into

four parts. Cows spend about 6 hours

a day eating and about 8 hours

chewing their cud.Cud - food of a ruminant regurgitated to be chewed again.

Page 9: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

But what do cows eat? Cows eat grass, hay, grain and they like to lick salt blocks.

Page 10: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Baby cows are called calves.

Page 11: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

PIGS live on farms

Page 12: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Pigs have small beady eyes and big ears. Their nose is called a

snout and is used to root in the ground.

Page 13: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Pigs do not sweat, so

they roll in the mud to

cool off.

Page 14: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Pigs are one of the smartest

animals around. They

are even smarter and

easier to train than dogs and

cats.

Page 15: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Baby pigs are called piglets.

Page 16: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

CHICKENSlive on farms

Page 17: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Chickens are birds, but they really can’t fly very far.

Page 18: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Chickens have a sharp beak that they use to pick up

food, like corn.

Page 19: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Hens lay eggs. Do you like to eat scrambled eggs? A hen can lay

about 250 eggs a year. That’s a lot of scrambled eggs!

Page 20: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Baby chickens are called chicks. As soon as they hatch, they can walk, see and

feed themselves.

Page 21: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

HORSES live on farms

Page 22: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Horses also live and work on the farm. But mostly horses are used to ride.

Page 23: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Horses have small pointed ears, big intelligent eyes and their soft nose is

called a muzzle.

Page 24: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

A horses foot is called a hoof. A horse has to have his hooves trimmed, just like

cutting your toenails. A horse will sometimes have shoes put on his hoof.

This is a man shoeing a horse.

Page 25: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Horses love to run.

Horses have long tails to swat flies that bug them, just like

the cows.

Page 26: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

A baby boy horse is called a colt and a baby girl horse is called a filly.

Page 27: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

SHEEP live on farms

Page 28: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

A daddy sheep is called a ram, a mommy sheep a ewe

and a baby sheep a lamb.

Page 29: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Sheep produce wool. To get the wool the sheep are sheared. This means their wool coat is cut off. It doesn’t hurt the sheep.

Page 30: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Sheep also have a stomach that is divided into four parts, just like the cow. They eat grass and grain and

chew their cud as well.

Cud - food of a ruminant regurgitated to be chewed again.

Page 31: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Sheep say Baa. They live in groups called flocks. This is because there

is safety in numbers in the wild.

Page 32: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Sheep eat grass, hay and grain.

Page 33: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Sheep and goats have hooves that are made up of two toes. They have to have

their hooves trimmed, like the horse.

Page 34: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

GOATS live on farms

Page 35: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Goats are more

independent than sheep

and like to be up high! They love to climb on anything!

Page 36: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Daddy goats are called “billie goats”, mommy goats are called “nanny’s” and baby goats are

called “kids”. Goats say “Maaa.”

Page 37: Let’s take a trip  Down  on the Farm

Goats are known for eating just about anything. But they love grain, hay and nice green leaves.
