FARM ANIMALS

3. Draft cattle and horses are used as draft animals in some parts of the world. In many countries tractors perform most of the difficult field work. However horses still do some valuable services and, in addition, they are sources of great pleasure. In some parts of the world where there are no improved roads horses are still used for transporting people and farm products from place to place.
