Goat I’m nimble on rocks and like to roam, A beard beneath my chin, a bell on my home. I nibble leaves and sometimes a coat Who’s this curious, climbing?
Sheep I wear a fluffy coat though I never sew, On hills I wander, in fields I go. My baa is soft, my fleece you keep What am I?
Cattle I chew the cud beneath the sun, With sturdy legs I haul and run. My milk and meat help feed the land Who am I, heavy and grand?
