- (continued from previous page)Tolls are not paid on cattle sold. When an animal is sold luck money is given. It is called luck money. When a bargain is made one person spits on his hand, the other person holds out his hand and strikes it. When cattle are sold they are marked with cow dung or mud. Sometimes hair is cut off the animal's hip with a scissors. When selling a horse if a halter is used it is given back to it's owner. The great fairs of the year are the 4th of May, the 24th of June and the onion fair on the 25th of October. There is no special fair for the sale of horses, sheep, and cattle.
