These are two sticks used to ensure that the foke is firmly in position in the neck of the oxen while ploughing. One end is Y shaped and it prevents them from going through the holes in the foke. Made by men and are used by Oxen. The sticks are cut from tree branches and their bark removed. They are slightly curved and without them ploughing is not possible.
