[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 7354703, member: 42308"] As far as I see it, a lot of these terms come from the times when we worked with 'osses. Round here a [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]yockin[/COLOR]' was the length of time (shift, if you like) that a pair of 'osses worked. They were changed half way through the morning, this was a good time for the men to have their bait. Big farms in Lincolnshire had outlying buildings where the second yockin' of 'osses waited (to save having to walk back to the main yard for them). The first yockin' went in and were fed in a [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]crib[/COLOR]. On smaller farms, with no outlying buildings the 'osses had their bait from a [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]nosebag.[/COLOR] It's all interconnected. [/QUOTE]
