    The Afterbirth of Cows.
    The After birth of cows was known as the 'Cleanings' among the farmers of Farney. The disposal of the after-birth was carefully regulated by custom. On no account was it to be buried. It was always placed high up on a bush as ato be well out of the way of prowling dogs and was left there until it had completely disappeared through the action of wind and weather.
