It's certainly unlear what the word "anyhow" is doing there, but in the right context, it's possible. Perhaps they were told not have a snack before yoking the oxen, but they did anway. )

Sorry, but that's even less clear.

They had a quick snack?

They ate their snack quickly?

They ate their snack in a messy manner?

What does it have to do with the oxen?

I'm sorry.

They ate their snack in a messy manner

There's nothing to do with the oxen. I just can't find a proper adverb.

Thank you for your help!
