    I used to farm next door to these guys and would peer over the hedge in amazement when they’d be out in the fields with their oxen – it was the first time I ever saw working cattle, but it got me interested enough to have a go myself!
    This short film gives quite an interesting insight into their work with cattle.

    You can see on this that they harness through a nose ring – isn’t it much more painful for the animal than an occasional whack with the goad? What’s the advantage? Anyone know?

    i don’t think their yokes offer too much comfort, but i sure would like to see more of neck seat.
