  1. Fairs have always been held in the towns of Milford, Kerrykeel and Carrigart, and a new fair has been started in Rosnakill but the best fair for cattle and horses is Milford.
    In older times dealers went round from house to house buying stock and they do the same nowadays.
    There is a special place on the street for cows and calves and another special place for horses and sheep and another special place for pigs.
