Fairs
Fairs were always in towns in this district. If sheep or cattle or wool were getting dear jobbers would go from house to house buying
There were a lot moe fairs long ago than now
Tolls paid are 8d for a cow, 2d for a sheep, 4d for a calf, 6d for a bullock, 4d for a pig.
When a bargain is made they would mark the beast or cut a piece of his hair with a scissors
When a person buys a horse he always gets the halter with it.
