Animals on the Farm

• Many farms have animals called livestock.
• It is a lot of work to take care of all the
  different animals.
• The animals live in a barn on the farm.
• There are also fields to let the animals move
  around and graze on the grass.
• All the animals eat certain foods that the farmer
  feeds them.
