Here is an A B Frost painting from his Sporting Prints. The feed is shocked (Bundled and stacked). I think the sport is shooting prairie chickens.

PS: building a shock of feed was similar to soldiers stacking arms. Youd drag or carry three bundles to where you wanted the shock. Then youd build a tripod of the three and finish by adding more bundles all around. Whew! That was a LONG time ago. I think Dad paid we two boys 10 cents per shock to stack it. Not bad pay for the time.
