Descripción:

The word ‘neat’ was formerly in general use for animals ‘of the ox tribe’ (EDD): it was usually singular and the term neat-cattle could include heifers, oxen, bullocks and cows. However, like ‘sheep’ the word could also have a plural sense, as in 1512 when Guy Wilstrop was accused of destroying land in Moor Monkton, by enclosure. One of the specific accusations made against him was that <i>he bredes nete and schep … uppon the seid grounde</i> (YRS41/168). It seems to be plural in that case, as it does in a Richmond inventory of 1541 which lists <i>40 heade of yonge neyte</i> (SS26/20). In <i>c</i>.1570, when John Kaye of Woodsome put his ideas on husbandry into verse for the benefit of his heirs, his advice was: <i>thy yong neat see abroad thow kepe … unto yll wether make them meke</i> (KayeCP).
