For example, if you were making a book for children about farms and only had room to feature 3 animals which ones would you choose?

I'd go for:

Cow
Pig
Chicken

Dog? Does that count as a farm animal? Wouldn't farm animals mean produce rather than management?

Why would it?

It's an animal, it lives and works on a farm.

You asked for farm animals, not for farmed animals.

Not many picking chickens. You get ducks, geese, turkeys and chickens on farms. Shouldn't you have at least one bird representing the feathered side of things?

Horses aren’t farm animals they’re leisure animals!

Weirdly I had a conversation about what lives on farms with my toddler in the car today and it's cow, elephant, toucan and duck on his farm....
the farms up a tree and you get there by aeroplane or yellow digger but you have to watch out for big bad Barry.

BigStripeyBastard · 16/08/2018 21:58

Cows pigs and sheep.

Cows, Sheep and Pigs are most likely to be visible in the UK.
