Clowders, Packs and Herds

At Fields Quarter Horses, we have lots of animals. I have researched the proper terms for the various groups so that we may refer to them in the appropriate manner! Source: Wikipedia

Donkeys:
Properly a group of donkey, horses or mules is called a herd. A small family group may be called a band. There have been people trying to get a herd of donkeys called a "congress of asses" but this is not correct terminology.  . Since we have a Jack, two Jennys, and their offspring, I believe that we officially have a band.

Cats:
A group of cats is called a clowder or a clutter . If they are cats a mother cat has just had...a "litter".   Most cats live solitary lives with the exception of lions. In this case it would be called a pack or pride. A group of feral cats is called a colony. Officially, we have two separate Clowders of cats since all are domesticated, and rather spoiled- the Barn Clowder (comprised of Marshall, Eminem, and Bobby) and the Kennel Clowder (comprised of Scarlett, Crackers, CiCi, and Bubby). All cats are spayed and neutered so we are not looking to increase the size of any of our Clowders.

Raccoons:
A group of raccoons is called a Nursery or Gaze. A baby raccoon is called a cub. A litter of baby raccoons is called a kit. The mother of the raccoon colony is called the Queen. (As is the mother in a Colony of cats!)
Our solitary raccoon is called: Ringo.

Goats:
A group of goats is called a herd, tribe or trip Our goat is called Kit or sometimes Pain In the A**.  :)


Llamas
A group of llamas is called a herd. There must be two or more to comprise a herd. A male llama is called a stud or sometimes a macho. A baby llama is called a cria.  Our llama is called: George

Horses:
A group of horses is called a stable, harras, herd, team (working horses), string or field (race horses).  A group of extremely talented attractive foals at our farm are called: Chevys.

Dogs:
A group of dogs is called a kennel, pack (wild dogs), or litter (pups from one mother). Our dogs are called: Katie, Sugar, Rondo, Heidi, Ace, Tivo, Lance, Cici, and Franklin.
