STRANGE ODD & UNUSUAL: Heifer Heels

-



During the Prohibition era in the United States (1920-1933), heifer heels could have been used as a slang term for illegal alcohol being transported or sold in rural areas. This term may have been used to refer to hidden compartments in heifers' hooves where small amounts of alcohol could be concealed and transported without being detected by law enforcement.

Additionally, some bootleggers during Prohibition used creative methods to smuggle alcohol, such as hiding bottles in the heels of shoes or other inconspicuous places. The term "heifer heels" could have been a clever way to refer to these hidden compartments or methods of transporting illegal alcohol.

Overall, the combination of "heifer heels" and Prohibition likely refers to the creative and sometimes humorous ways that people attempted to circumvent the laws against alcohol during this time period.
