Oxbow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Oxbow (disambiguation).
An 'oxbow' is a U-shaped wooden frame that fits under and around the neck of an ox, with its upper ends attached to the bar of the yoke. When rivers meander and are sometimes cut off from their course, they form an oxbow lake which is so named because of the distinct "U" shape.
