- (continued from previous page)When the cow is cross there is a "boírícín" sometimes called a spancel tied to her two hind legs. The pole which she is tied to is called a "Staic".
A two year old calf is called a "ceartaos" and a three year old a "Sean-fuidheac".
"Rucall" is the name for the chain that ties the two fore legs of a donkey.
In the olden rimes when people used to be putting down hatching eggs they put the sign of the cross on the eggs with Blessed palm. When the woman was putting down the eggs she put on her husband's socks so as to have iucks on the chickens.
