    When the bargain is made and the buyer knows that the animal is his he marks it and puts it in to some place until he is ready to take it away with him.
    There are three different ways for marking the cattle such as cutting a piece of the hair off the animal's back and marking with stuff called “keel” and again clapping the stick into mud and rubbing it across the animals back.
    In some places there does be a special horse fair once also a pig fair.
