Today is the 275th day of the year. Only 91 days left to finish those “new years resolutions…” I kid. I kid. This kicks off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And it’s also World Farm Animals Day and Name Your Car Day.
This is Issue #33. You can check out every past issue of our newsletter in our archive! First time reading, please Subscribe here.
🧠 Fun Facts about farm animals. Chickens have over 200 distinct noises they can make for communicating.
A group of pigs is called a “sounder,” and they are considered the 4th most intelligent animal (after chimpanzees, dolphins, and elephants).
Cows can recognize their names (though they may not come when called!). Cows have a memory of about three years.
Cows are social animals who form bonds with each other. In a herd of cows, many will form cliques together.
A female goat is called a doe. Goats are great swimmers. Some wild goats can climb trees and can walk along a ledge not much wider than a tightrope. BTW, I love goats!
What is your favorite farm animal? You get to tell us all about it in today’s reader poll.
