- When a calf has the "Ruathar-Péist" a kind of a knot is made over him with a cord three times making The Sign of The Cross. You should take off your hat or cap while doing so. The knot is called "The Knot for the Ruathar Péist".When a cow has the red murrain there is a cure for it by sticking a pin in the ground and certain words should be said. The same pin should be worn in your every-day clothes.
