Denis Lehane: Hats off to my Angus as he heads for the mart ring

It's time to bid farewell to my hat-wearing bullock and no doubt he will use his hat to shield a tear, as I will myself, when I tell him the sad news, writes our Auld Lehane

But now, alas, the time has come to bid farewell to my Angus and his hat.

I'm planning to take my bullock, who wears the hat, to Macroom Mart on Saturday.

He looks fine and plump now, with or without the hat.
