guernsey’s make great oxen have fun with them!

[Droverone]

very nice! good luck, how tall are they?

[Droverone]

hereford shorthorn is there any other?

During the drought this past summer we also used the pioneer wagon to transport bales to their destination with the oxen and it worked out great, because you could park and unhook the leaders to remove a bale of hay with a rope and a hook.

These are the stalls that I use and have good luck with they are airy and easy to clean with rubber mats on top of granite dust for drainage

there is little to discuss, simply put the plow on a solid level surface and you will see that the bottom moves as the frame moves, so find the anagle that keeps the point square to the ground and you should be fine.

The single bottom smaller sulky style plows are the finest thing for starting plowing with cattle because once they are adjusted they guide themselves and come into the ground and start working with little effort on the part of the driver so you can concentrate on the cattle working properly. I like the oliver style because they are lite and durable. I hook directly to the bottom and lash or chain the frame of the plow to the appropriate angle to keep in working true.

Since you mentioned plowing here I am plowing last spring with another pair I had
