Unit Definition (bovate)
The Bovate is an old English unit of land area equal to 1/8 hide. This was roughly 15 acres or 6 hectares. The word comes from the Latin bovis, an ox, indicating that the bovate was an area that could be farmed with the help of one ox.

Unit Definition (labor)
The labor is a traditional unit of area in Latin American countries. The labor is equal to the area of a square 1000 varas on a side, or 0.04 legua. Using the Texas standard for the vara (33 1/3 inches), this is equivalent to 177.136 acres or 71.685 hectares. The word labor means work in Spanish, as it does in English. As a unit it represents the area that could be cultivated by a single farmer, somewhat like the old English hide.
