- (continued from previous page)when the farmers are going to the fair buyers come out along the road and offer a big price for the cattle. The fair is always held in the street. There is no special place for the fair. Whenever the farmers sell their cattle they always give money for luck. It is called "luck penny." They give two shilling a head of cattle. When sold, the rope is not given away: the cattle are put into the train and the rope is given to the owner. There is no special fair for sheep cattle or pigs. They are all sold at the same fair. There is a special fair for horses.
