I've often wonderes what a neat is?

In this context a neat is any bovine animal - ox, cow, bull etc.

And how do you extract the oil from it's feet?

Neat's foot oil is rendered from the boiled bones, e.g. as in cow-heel
jelly. The practice was suspended during the BSE crisis.

We used to have cow heel stew during the war and meat rationing ...
