Farm Animals

 

Intro

The animals at the farm are lots of fun. Each animal is fun in its own way. Pigs have wet snouts, you can ride the horses, and you clean the barn. The animals were sheep, cows, horses, chickens, and pigs. There are lots of pigs at the farm. The animals are mostly cows and pigs. We were at Hawthorne Valley Farm, 2014. It is 127 miles from New York, two and a half hours of a drive. We saw an animal being born. We had fun with animals. Every pig except the newborns is a playful pig.

 

 

We saw the pigs on the first day when we were having the tour.  Pigs are very playful. They like to rub their nose on you and cuddle up. Diego became papa pig because the mama liked him a lot and the babies liked him to. The pigs are very fond of people. The pigs that are the youngest won’t let you touch them because if you do they will scream and the mama will charge at you and bite you. The mama will have very strong jaws. Diego played papa pig by being nice to the pigs. The pigs have wet noses and bite playfully. I thought the pigs were cute and playful. The pigs have hairs that when they grow up the hairs become hard and ruff. The pigs bite and play all day. They love food and attention.

 

 

My biggest surprise on the farm was that we saw a calf being born. It was gross and when the cow came out there was yellow stuff on it. When the cow came out the mother licked the yellow stuff off. Once it got to one point the cow just zipped out. When the cow zipped out it stopped at the very end. The mom was a heifer which means she never had a baby before. The baby cow was a girl. The mama cow’s name was lucy. It is pretty rare to see a cow giving birth. The parts that came first were the legs and head. The cows are very nice and poop a lot.

 

 

Walking sheep on leashes was fun. One person asked us what we were doing. The sheep were slow and stopped to eat a lot. The sheep like to eat leaves and grass. The sheep names are Lila,  Luna,  and Stella. The way to make them go faster is to tap them on the behind. We mostly wanted them to go fast. Zoe was the only one who let her sheep eat. The sheep are all girls. Getting leashes on sheep was pretty easy. You needed to get the leash then hook up the sheep. Lila and Stella had a dirty face. Luna is the only one with a clean face. The sheep are very fluffy. I walked Lila.

 

 

conclusion

 

 

Visiting farms is fun because you learn new things. You learn things you can’t learn in the city. At a farm you play with awesome animals. You might go to a different farm. It is very hard for farmers to get food so you should respect where your food comes from. At a farm you learn where things like food come from,  also you should respect meat because it is very hard to grow animals. The animals at a farm are very hard to grow and you should respect the people who grew the animals.
