Farm Animals
No one knows when animals were first used by man. Cattle, sheep, pigs and goats were probably tamed thousands of years ago by hunters following grazing herds. As time passed they thought of the animals as their own, and learned that they could have milk, wool and meat without killing so many animals. Horses were tamed to help with heavy jobs such as pulling the carts and plough's. The dung from the animals was used to fertilize the soil and help the crops to grow.

Over the years the animals have been selectively bred, using those which were most useful.
