  1. When people are driving cows if they get a piece of iron on the road they will bring it with them and hang it in the stable for luck. When people are driving cows and hit the udder she will not give the milk. it is said anyone should not milk a cow dry, but to leave a drop to the fairies. If you don't the cows will loose the milk.
