It's Arianita La Gringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.

Today I'm with my friend Blair and she's going to be showing me around her farm.
4
I will be teaching all of you guys farm vocabulary in English.
5
Let's go!
6
Let's go!
7
What do sheep say?
8
Bah.
9
Bah.
10
I'm gonna, you wanna hear my best sheep impression?
11
Ready?
12
Bah.
13
Wait.
14
You have to really make an ugly face, like bah.
15
Let's go over like the different ways that animals can like make sounds.
16
What does a chicken say?
17
Okay, chicken has Yeah.
18
Like a rooster, yeah?
19
Yeah, that's a rooster.
20
A cow.
21
Okay.
22
Oh, they do.
23
Okay, and the last one is a horse.
24
All right.
25
So what is like the typical cowboy cowgirl outfit?
26
I think what I had on earlier was way more typical farm boy.
27
A pair of beater seven jeans is what I wear in my muck boots every day.
28
Cowboy boots, shorts, a little top and a cowgirl hat.
29
And cowboy culture, anything like woven is cool.
30
We like that.
31
We like cowboys.
32
We like loud stuff.
33
These two items are literally like generational cowboy go-tos.
34
And you're straight kickers.
35
From one to ten, how would you rate my friend Blair's outfit?
36
I would say ten.
37
No way!
38
I'm a fourth generation farmer.
39
We do like to look like we lived in and worked in our outfit.
40
If not, then you're a poser a little bit.
41
This door's heavy.
42
It has to be kind of dirty, you know?
43
Yes, you have to live in it.
44
Lived in is cute.
45
Come on inside.
46
So this is my truck.
47
And everybody gets a truck when they're born.
48
And this is mine.
49
Wow.
50
Look, and my dad gives us all a truck when we're born.
51
And mine's skull edition, and the gear shifts glow.
52
It's awesome.
53
This thing is our baby.
54
So why does everyone get a truck when they're born?
55
Is that like tradition in your family?
56
My dad likes vehicles, and so do I.
57
So we like engines.
58
We like big engines.
59
This is a tractor, right?
60
Yes, we used to pull this.
61
My family had pulling tractors.
62
Now I think it's in the antique division.
63
What do you use a tractor for on the farm?
64
Right now, we're feeding silage and feeding hay.
65
You have two really big tractors for those.
66
Are those real deer?
67
Yeah, they are.
68
All of these bugs my dad and my brother and I have killed.
69
Do you guys normally hunt deer or like other animals?
70
I have killed quite a few more animals,
71
I think, than my dad and my brother.
72
In northern Kentucky, we live on the Ohio River,
73
and we would plant corn and soybeans,
74
and it was just basically a feast for these guys.
75
In northern Kentucky, we have an infestation of deer,
76
and so you can kill these guys.
77
If you're a farmer, you get farmer tags,
78
and you can kill them.
79
It's legal.
80
It's legal and we eat every single bit of our deer.
81
We've had cow tongue, cow intestine,
82
and that's just from our cattle.
83
Deer you can make a lot of jerky with,
84
even the parts that like aren't usually good to eat.
85
What's the difference between a deer and a buck?
86
Is a buck the male deer?
87
Right.
88
So a deer is like saying the species name
89
and then a buck is the male version and a doe is the female version.
90
And what's the baby deer called?
91
Fawn.
92
Yeah, it's a fawn.
93
Yeah.
94
We have the buck, a doe, and the fawn.
95
My dad was a mountain boy in the Appalachians.
96
They were all coal miners.
97
My mamaw actually got divorced and remarried my papaw.
98
Wait, what is mamaw papaw?
99
In the United States of America,
100
we give our grandparents really goofy names.
101
Yeah, we don't really say like grandma, grandpa.
102
I mean, some families do say that.
103
Some people do say grandma,
104
grandpa, but it's fun and like uplifting to give your grandpa a funny name.
105
My grandpa's name was Grumpy because he was really grumpy.
106
So it's mamaw papaw.
107
Mamaw and papaw are my dad's parents' names.
108
So these are Blair's awards.
109
Blair, can you tell me a little bit about your awards and what you won?
110
This is one I showed under 4-H.
111
This is when I won Grand Champion Berkshire Market Hog,
112
Grand Champion Market Hog, or Reserve Champion Market Hog,
113
and here's the banner for that one.
114
So basically you catch pigs?
115
No. In the livestock industry,
116
in the show side of it,
117
it's just like show dogs.
118
You're trying to have the best genetics possible,
119
like phenotype looking and genetic type.
120
These pigs, when you're looking at them,
121
phenotypically speaking they're like stout,
122
wide made and so you have to judge them off of what they look like and they win.
123
So just think of a dog show but with pigs.
124
I won as a showman with all these pigs because they're the best.
125
My brother likes cows and I like pigs.
126
This is a fun pin.
127
This has a lot of our unique breeds.
128
So what is a pin?
129
A pin is like a fenced in field.
130
A pin can also be like a horse stall or something like that.
131
Just anything that pins in animals.
132
So in this pin we have belted galloways
133
which are the oreo looking cows
134
and then i also have highlanders with the horns scottish highlander long hair do you see them
135
so when you breed a highlander the one with the horns
136
and the fluffy hair to one of these white haired white parks they get white fluffy hair black ears
137
and a black nose like
138
that all the way in the back do you see it with the long long hair
139
and the hump ones like yeah that's a yak what's a
140
yak oh wait you know a yak that's That's the first yak I've ever seen in my life.
141
Yeah, it's really cool.
142
They're really mean.
143
They have like a terrible attitude.
144
They're the meanest animals I've ever had on my farm.
145
Most farmers, whenever you climb on the gate here,
146
you'll get yelled out by your grandpa or by your dad.
147
You always have to climb by the hinges so you don't bend the gate.
148
What's the baby name of a cow?
149
Okay, good question.
150
So we call them calves.
151
Calf for singular, just one little baby.
152
And then calves for plural.
153
When it's a girl, that's a heifer.
154
That means she has not had a baby yet.
155
When it's a boy, it's born as a bull.
156
And then after you castorate them, then they're a steer.
157
And actually, when a cow is in labor,
158
you can say it's capping.
159
Oh, interesting.
160
I didn't know that.
161
So this is our bullpen.
162
I'll go over what my family pretty much does for a living.
163
My dad, he's a third-generation row crop farmer.
164
He started off doing tobacco,
165
which is huge in the state of Kentucky.
166
But my brother and I have a little bit different interests than him.
167
And we raise show cattle,
168
show goats, and beef cattle.
169
But this is what we do the most competitively is show cattle.
170
In this pen, we have a lot of scimitol-influenced cattle,
171
so you'll see a lot of color.
172
So they're going to be red and white,
173
and over here is our white park bull,
174
and his name is Neil.
175
So what makes the best show bull?
176
I wrap it up simple.
177
I also coach judging kids now for my county,
178
and I say it simple like this.
179
Butts, nuts, and guts.
180
You want them to have a big butt and be really stout from behind because that means they're muscular.
181
You want them to be big in their testicles so they're a good breeding piece.
182
And then you want them to have a big gut
183
so they have depth of body and they can retain their body weight really well.
184
And you don't have to be worried about feeding them and them being skinny.
185
What do they normally eat?
186
So this is what they eat right here.
187
We feed our cows silage and grain and hay every day.
188
After you harvest all your corn, you're left with stocks.
189
And a lot of farmers turn this into silage.
190
And that's what we did and feed it to their cattle.
191
And it's really high in protein and good for their gut.
192
And you can even see some of the corn left in there.
193
Blair, does the color red make bulls really aggressive?
194
Honestly, I think that's just a common misconception about cattle.
195
I think cattle, just like many other animals,
196
don't have great color vision.
197
Red is maybe a rare color they actually can see.
198
Back in the day when Tauros would get a bull and do that,
199
maybe it was just the color they could see.
200
So no, I wear red around my cattle all the time.
201
What is a barn?
202
What do you use a barn for?
203
A barn is either to store animals or equipment or hay,
204
and it's pretty much just a large shelter to keep everything out of the weather.
205
Because it gets cold in Kentucky.
206
Like you gotta have some shelter and warm.
207
I love Kentucky because it has all four seasons.
208
It has a really cold winter,
209
a really hot summer, a really wet spring and a beautiful,
210
the prettiest fall in the United States of America is in Kentucky.
211
Okay, which one's your favorite season?
212
Let us know down below.
213
Now, Blair is going to take us into her barn where she keeps a lot of cattle,
214
storage space and stuff.
215
So let's see what's inside.
216
Okay, this is a once horse barn converted into now a goat barn.
217
We literally go through a round bale probably every other day.
218
This is hay, right?
219
Yes.
220
Hay is alfalfa.
221
It's fescue and alfalfa grass.
222
Kentucky we have fescue.
223
It feeds nice expensive animals.
224
It makes out for fluffy good hay.
225
Straw is more or less bedding.
226
Is straw harder?
227
Yes straw is like you're sitting on a straw bale.
228
Something about like that material.
229
This is hay.
230
It's a lot thinner and it's for food and then straw is mostly for bedding.
231
It's a lot harder too.
232
So why do you guys have so many goats on this farm?
233
Here recently renting land and the cost of land has went up
234
so much in the United States and owning land that you make money by selling it.
235
And so we actually have less land now and bigger facilities,
236
which works out perfect for smaller ruminant animals like sheep and goats.
237
Smaller ruminant meaning their guts.
238
How much is land in the United States?
239
In the state of Kentucky,
240
the lowest I've heard right now is $12,000 an acre up to $30,000 an acre.
241
In Northern Kentucky, it's $25,000 an acre.
242
Land prices are all about basis where you live and location.
243
Closer to a city, more expensive ground.
244
Yeah, we're 30 minutes away from Cincinnati.
245
Yeah.
246
30 to 45 minutes.
247
So we're in some of the most expensive land in Kentucky.
248
So do you think these are male or females in this pen?
249
Okay, I think they're all males because they have horns.
250
When you think of horns on an animal,
251
you initially think that means it's a male.
252
But with goats, the ones with horns are females and they're all does.
253
But they share the same names as deer.
254
The males are called bucks the females are called does
255
but their babies are actually called kids
256
so males bucks females does babies are kids most people also
257
call human babies kids as well i'm like children children we call them children
258
so this goat is a male actually no this one is
259
still a female some breeds are pulled meaning they don't have
260
horns they're born without them this is a pulled dairy goat you can You can still tell by her udder.
261
What's the udder?
262
They're teats.
263
Goats have two teats.
264
Horses and cows have four.
265
This is my niece's pony.
266
So is a pony the baby of the horse?
267
No, a pony is just a different species actually entirely.
268
Yeah, this is a Shetland pony.
269
That's his breed.
270
They're the prettiest kind of ponies.
271
They get fluffy and they have long hair.
272
And look, he's super nice.
273
You could do whatever you want to him.
274
Here's some pony facts.
275
Cattle kick to the side like this.
276
Ponies kick behind like that.
277
So never get behind a horse.
278
Ari's trying to right now.
279
No, I'm kidding.
280
Can I ride your pony?
281
Yeah, do you want to?
282
Sure, but I don't know if I'm too heavy.
283
No, you can get on him.
284
How do you ride a pony?
285
So when you get on a horse,
286
if it has a saddle,
287
I would put my weight in my left leg,
288
come this foot in the stirrup,
289
and then swing this leg around.
290
But since it's bareback, you actually get on different.
291
Okay.
292
You put your butt leg here.
293
Luckily, he's short enough for me to do this.
294
I'm 5'1".
295
I don't have a lot of height to do, but yeah, he's good.
296
Okay.
297
Good job.
298
Good job.
299
Oh, yay!
300
You want to go meet my brother?
301
Sure.
302
Okay.
303
Hi.
304
Nice to meet you.
305
I'm Ariana.
306
You're a lot.
307
Look, this is a really cool bird.
308
This is one of the smallest.
309
It's a chicken, right?
310
Yeah.
311
This is called a banny.
312
Right?
313
This is called a kiki-riki.
314
A kiki-riki.
315
He's full grown.
316
That's him.
317
He's pretty small for being full grown.
318
That's why he said it's the smallest chicken breed they make.
319
It's one of the smallest breeds.
320
So do chickens lay eggs or is it the hen?
321
The hen.
322
This is a male.
323
So he doesn't lay eggs.
324
But only the females do.
325
The males have a comb.
326
And that's right here.
327
And then Jermai, what's this called?
328
Waddles.
329
They're waddles.
330
Blair is going to show me some cool eggs.
331
So I'm assuming this one is from the hen.
332
This is a normal laying hen egg.
333
I make scrambled eggs with all of these.
334
They're like warm too.
335
There was a chicken on top of it.
336
The chicken was just laying on these.
337
That's a turkey and then that's a goose.
338
I always sell them to people that want to incubate them and then catch baby chicks.
339
And what kind of egg is this?
340
Quail.
341
And this is a quail egg.
342
Quail, a regular laying hen that you buy at the store,
343
a goose egg, and then a turkey egg.
344
Which one's your favorite egg to eat?
345
A lot of people love goose eggs because there's a lot of yolk in them.
346
They're good to bake with because a higher yolk Appearance more yolk makes bread
347
and everything with yeast rise more
348
so a lot of people like to bake with goose eggs The yolk is the yellow part of the egg
349
and turkey eggs come with speckles There's another goose
350
There's a duck Feel the difference on the duck how it's got like a waxy shell Yes
351
and it's such a thin it feels like a thin shell
352
compared to a goose egg here we'll show you Like a thick shell versus like a waxy seal
353
and that's a duck egg.
354
This is Finn.
355
I rode Finn.
356
He bites so watch out.
357
He does bite?
358
Okay.
359
Yes.
360
I won't pet you then.
361
You can pet him easy around his mouth.
362
Quarter horses are hyper.
363
They can run the fastest in a quarter mile.
364
That's why they're called quarter horses because they're faster in a quarter mile than any other horse breed.
365
They're the stoutest made of horses so they're very muscular and they're made for working cattle.
366
That's literally what they're made for.
367
See he's little nipper and this is prim this is mommy.
368
Blair can you go ahead and tell me the names of a mom horse a dad horse a baby horse.
369
So this guy was born a stallion and then since then he's been castrated
370
and now he's a gelding but over here we have a pretty mare the mommy horse.
371
And what do you call a baby horse?
372
You call him a colt.
373
Now Blair's gonna show me this barn and you said that you had a favorite animal on this farm.
374
Yes we're leading into my show barn.
375
It was once a tobacco barn now it's a show barn
376
this is my favorite animal on the farm i'm a pig girl
377
and this is actually a pot belly pig she has no
378
purpose on the farm other than to be cute she's a big girl
379
look she likes eggs it's like little candy to her she has bad vision
380
they love their belly rub
381
and what does a pig say like what is the sound
382
it makes point point here we have a baby calf see her ears she was born
383
when it was really cold
384
and she got frostbite oh wow she lost part of her ears the tissue is damaged
385
and eventually they fall off kind of her mom didn't have any milk
386
and so she's a bottle baby this is for cows
387
but it's a it's a working shoot
388
so the cows they'll come up through the pin system here
389
and then they'll go into the alleyway
390
and what's the pin system for give shots
391
if we're doing a blood test or something's sick and like we had to give medicine.
392
It's like there's a cow having trouble having a calf.
393
It's all about restricting movement.
394
This is a bottle calf and we can walk up to her
395
and pet on her and like I might even be able to give her a shot
396
or do something with her right here.
397
But if it's a big cow that hasn't been handled much,
398
you gotta have some way to restrain them.
399
It makes them feel calm.
400
When they feel pressure on either side of them, it calms them down.
401
The baby's nursing off the mama cow.
402
But if you were to get milk by hand,
403
how would you say that?
404
I would just milk in a cow.
405
Milk in a cow, yeah.
406
Blair, have you ever milked a cow?
407
Oh, yeah.
408
Yeah?
409
Okay, everybody.
410
That's all for today's video.
411
Thank you so much, Blair,
412

413

414
the different names of animals and their babies.

关于本课
在这一课程中，学习者将和Arianita及她的朋友Blair一起探索农场，学习与农场相关的英语词汇和短语。通过观察农场环境和动物的叫声，学习者将能够更好地理解和使用这些生词。同时，这也是提高英语发音和口语能力的一次绝佳机会，尤其对于希望在雅思口语练习中表现更好的学生。
关键词汇与短语
- Sheep - 羊
- Chicken - 鸡
- Cow - 牛
- Horse - 马
- Cowboy boots - 牛仔靴
- Cowgirl hat - 女牛仔帽
- Muck boots - 泥靴
- Truck - 卡车
练习技巧
为了提高您的英语发音，我们建议您进行英语影子跟读，特别是跟随Arianita和Blair的对话进行练习。可以反复观看看YouTube学英语的视频，并在他们说话时尽量模仿他们的语调和语速。
请注意，适当的停顿和情感表达是非常重要的。在模仿他们说话时，试着在关键的动物叫声或服饰描述中加入您的个人感受。例如，当学习“Bah”或“Wow”这样的表达时，不妨用夸张的面部表情来帮助记忆和语音矫正。通过这样的练习，您不仅能提高英语发音，还能增强口语表达的自然流畅性。
为了更进一步提升口语能力，可以尝试和同伴进行对话练习，或者在社交平台上分享您模仿的片段，以便获得反馈。这样能够更好地将所学知识应用于实际口语中，并为即将到来的雅思口语练习做好准备。保持练习的频率，您将会在英语口语表达上获得显著的进步！
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
