    The fairs for this district are held in Newmarket, and Abbeyfeale. A few people take cattle to Newcastle fair. For the past forty nine years the fairs are held in the towns. Forty nine years ago, the train started to run from Newmarket to Banteer. Since then the fair for this district is held in Newmarket. Before that time, there was a fair once a month in Rockchapel village, and it was a very good fair for selling heifers and dry cattle. Jobbers came in side-cars, in the early hours of the morning, from Newmarket, Kanturk and Abbeyfeale. When sold, the cattle were driven by road to these towns. The jobbers employed two drovers to drive the cattle.
    When my grand-father who is now 78 years old, was a young lad, his father usually sold his cattle at home. Cornelius O Shea and Philip Brown, cattle dealers from Newmarket, used come to the house, when he had a number of heifers to sell, and usually bought them. At present, jobbers do not come around this district buying cattle, but the local people frequently buy and sell to each other.

    At one time in the 11th or 12th century a member of the Montmorency family, who then inhabited Castle Morres, wished to make a great racing stables at the place then known as Ballyrobeen He wished to make it a replica of the famous Newmarket stables - thus the name Newmarket. He built great stables near where the present Newmarket School stands. Part of the stable is now a dwelling house. For many years during the 11th and 12th centuries the stables were famous for the great horses bred and trained there. But now all that remains is part of the stables which are fairly well preserved. The stone work on the outside immediately strikes the eye of the visitor, but it tells nothing of its former usage.

    The most important places where cattle fairs are held in my district are Newmarket, Kanturk and Knocknagree. Horse fairs are held in Newmarket, Castleisland and Millstreet. Pig fairs which are called markets are held in Kanturk, Newmarket, and Rathmore. Fairs are held only in towns and in most towns there is a certain field which is called the "fair field". When a bargain is made the people who are concerned in it clap their hands to clinch the bargain.
    Each buyer has his own certain mark for the cattle. Some of them use paint and some others of them use a pig ring which they put on one of the "cow's ears'. When a cow is sold the halter is usually retained.
    Many years ago fairs were held in Dromagh but it is now discontinued because it is too far away from a railway station.
