Remember holidays in the 1960's in Oughtdarra ( Kelleher) my dad's home and his brother Johnny used to save hay i n ( what was called the Craig's ) 5acres on top of Sleive Elva towards FANORE the few cattle the had wintered up there he would check them every couple of days long trip up the mountin cut the hay out of the PIKE with his hay knife and fork it out to the cattle open ground rock shelter and there would a lovely furry warm coat on those cattle coming down in the spring to fresh pasture ,and let the ( Cregg's) grow meadow). Nature must take it's course. An acre shoud only produce what an acre can produce naturally. Old saying the worm will turn fallow ground once in seven years. Up the Banner especially the north burren.
