I have found an inventory of a deakin in 1699 and the second one is 3 twintars. this is between 4 cowes and one mare. I have looked on the internet but not found it, obviously an animal. Not come across it, any ideas. Barry
I should look on my own bookshelves. I have a glossary of household farming and trade terms by rosemary millward 1993. "I states twynter (twinter) a beast of two winters old. Mine was spelt twintar but eh thanks Jackie you put me on the right track. Cheers.
