   Animals are marked in the following manner. Sheep are sometimes painted, or a bit of the wool clipped off with a scissors, others are marked with keel, sometimes the dealer just smears them with mud. Farmers mark their sheep by clipping their ears or splitting them. Cattle are marked with keel also, or clipped on the flank, or "scored" with a sharp knife and bled.
   Halters are given to the buyers of horses with the horse. Cattle are taken on ropes to fairs, but if several farmers are taking young cattle, they drive them in droves. The rope used for taking the cow is given "into the bargain" to the buyer.
