2. May Day Customs in Connection with Cows and Milk

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   It was believed that witches etc,. could take the profit of the milk by taking the dew off the grass on May morning.
   To overcome the power of the witch and to retain the profit of the milk and to prevent disease coming on the cattle, the cows were driven out to the fields on May Day with a hazel stick.
   This custom still is observed by farmers in Redcross district.
   These people do not sell or give milk away to anyone on May-day.
