    Hi, We have a 30 acre hobby farm (mostly Belted Galloway beef) in central/eastern Massachusetts. I have always been interested in oxen but could not quite pull the trigger. Our Devon had a bull calf in Aug and I am hopefully picking up a teammate tomorrow. I do some logging and quite a bit of stone work but my goal is to use them to plow and for hay. So I am definitely interested in any equipment and workshops that would be held in the NE.

    I’ll let you barrow my walking plow, or maybe sell you a old one that needs some TLC, but you’ll have to take it easy on them the first year, plowing is pretty hard work. Austin’s farm in Belchertown has had a small plowing field day the last couple of years, it is a good place to meet like minded locals and see what other teams do. I am in Westhampton if you ever want to bring your bulls over for a play date.

    Hello Paul My name is Paul and i am looking to do the same thing as you. I don’t own any oxen but it is something that i always wanted to do is learn and work with the oxen. You are about one hour away that is great because of the gas i don’t have much to play with if you know what i mean. If you have any suggestions please let me now. Thanks so much Paul Tighe
