    Tips

    May 1, 2023

    Ferradou, also called "work" or "iron loom", reminds us of the importance of the devail cattle on which the farmers relied.

    This til, very robust by purpose, was used by the farrier to immobilize cows or horses while putting shoes on their hooves. This was necessary because the animals were used for working the land and for pulling chariots.
