    The pig Fair is held on a different day in Cavan...

    The pig Fair is held on a different day in Cavan, but in the small towns the fair is held on the same day as the Cow fair. People put the "pigs" in a "cell" when taking them to the fair. If within a mile or so if the town the people drive the sow. A rope is put on its leg. At Xmas people buy a sow to kill. They will not kill their own.
