The previous human owner of the Manor Farm, Mr. Jones, had
never given up hope that he would reclaim his property from the animals. So, Jones and
his men, "with a half a dozen others from Foxwood and Pinchfield," prepared to take back
the farm. Jones carried a gun, but the others were armed only with sticks. But the
animals were waiting. Snowball launched an attack, first with pigeons and then geese.
After the men scattered the fowl, they became overconfident, Snowball sent in another
group of animals, led by Boxer, and within five minutes the men had scattered. One man
was injured, and one sheep died. The animals had won the Battle of the
Cowshed.
