I would guess at cattle too. I have many ancestors in killashee longford who split land between themselves and then proceeded to fall out with each other over wandering cattle. Many of my lot in court being fine over 'did let one goat/cow wander into property of....'

As said already usually cow, horse, donkey or similar.
Sometimes people were grazing the 'long acre', that is allowing animals to graze the grass on the road side verge, free grass but illegal.
