Yokes for Three Cows. A Vanished Technique for Breaking in Cattle in La Sierra Norte of Madrid (Spain)
Abstract
This paper is focused on the role played of an agrarian implement, the yoke for three cows, wich is hardly ever studied. It is used on the context of breaking in rebellious cattle. An ethnographic field work was carried out in the province of Madrid in order to show the complexity and importance of this tipe of yoke. This field work provided us also ethnographic and historical data to understand better their old use in Spain.
