- (continued from previous page)a fair is held at a crossroads or I know of no place where it is held out in the country. When people sell a beast and that they a good price, if they are big drinkers they get drunk and do not come home till nine or ten oclock at night. A shipping man marks the animals by cuting a track inside or outside the animals hind leg. He would not get them across if they were not marked. Other buyers that do not send them across mark them with Raddle or cattle paint.I heard this from my father aged 53 years.James Duignan, Derawley, Drumlish, Co. Longford. March 18th, 1938
