- We never keep less than fifteen or sixteen cows. We have at present sixteen cows. The names of them are as follows, Cahills cow, Considine, King’s Grey, King’s special cow, Nugent’s, Coocoo and Corn-crake. Black with white legs, Big soft red cow, Barrett’s cow, Kerry cow, blue cow, red cow. We use chains for tying them. The people never make in this district. In olden times old witches had some charm for taking the butter from all the cows of the parish on May morning.
