    There is a fair green in Tulla but the cattle break out and are sold afterwards on the streets.At the old fairs of Tulla there is a toll paid to a man in the street who bought the custom from the Government some years ago.It is 3d for cattle and 2d for sheep. When a buyer buys an animal he gives some piece of money such ass 2/6 the way the animal would be lucky.The cattle are marked with raddle or a piece of hair cut off their flank.it is not lucky to part with a halter as it is usually sent back.
