Hello. I'm translating some information from a bygdebok and need a little help with these phrases:

Ingebrikt var ein dugande smed. Han laga verkty, vekter og ymse beslag som han selde i Bergen.

Aasmund fødde 1 hest. Sådde 3 1/2 t. havre.

Thank you.

Ingebrikt was a skilful blacksmith. He made tools, weights and different fittings which he sold in Bergen.

Aasmund feeded 1 horse. Seeded 3.5t of Oats. [t=tønne (barrel)]
