York had an Irish market on a Saturday and he would of shipped the majority of them across. He could certainly buy a lot of cattle. The fields around his farm were constantly full of beast and they would change every week. His wagons ran 24hrs a day.Hope they weren’t the same ones he was buying that used to appear from Ireland in Carlisle
