    I bought this ox in 1999, in Bridgewater Nova Scotia, when he was 7 and this year, 2012, he should be 19 years old, this picture was taken last fall in North Carolina at Gillis hill farm with his owners Hank and Patti (not shown) Redfield of Red Springs, NC.

    Impressive old boy! What breed/ cross is he? He looks a little ayrshire but I’m not certain.

    Wow,now that’s an ox! I’d be interested in his breed/cross also. He must weigh over a ton.

    Thats makes sense. I wish there were horned herefords out here. There are plenty of polled ones, but I have only seen one horned hereford in our area. Someday I might stop at that pasture and ask if that cow throws horned calves (should I ask the cow directly or try and find the owner?). I love the look of the herefords in head yokes, but being on my first set of calves I’ll wait till I have some more experience.
