Horses

Farm animals are raised for a variety of purposes, such as producing meat, milk, eggs, and other valuable products. Common examples include cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens, and turkeys, but farms can also be home to many other fascinating animals. From ducks and geese to alpacas, llamas, and rabbits, the diversity of farm animals adds to the richness and productivity of rural life.

This is many years ago at Christmas when our neighbors came by to wish us a Merry Christmas. They were singing Christmas carols.
