    "Luck" It is an old custom held in the country. There is a mark put on the best or a ticket is given by the purchaser.
    They are marked with a raddal. The purchaser cips the cattle with a scissors or some put a bit of mud on them. None are hedl in castles or forts any time. My father does not know about the fairs in Ballycumber. He does not know what date. He does not know about when Clara faris were discontinued.
