- One fair morning a man was going to a fair in Scariff. He saw a woman milking cows, and she was saying 'Ill have all, Ill have all' The same man brought cow at the fair and when she was Ill have all the man said Ill have half. Ill have half. When the man went home with the cow, they milked her and she had five times as much milk and butter as the had before he brought the cow to the fair.
Every May morning long ago it is said that Biddy Early would run in and out through the cows saying, "All for me this May morning, All for me"
