    Carl,
    Thank you for the advice. I do need to challenge them mentally. Great tip. But for now, I’ll put on my sneakers 😉

    Thanks Kevin,
    My name is Allison and I have a Jersey Ox Team out of Chapel Hill, NC. I would like to introduce my blog:

    This is my first team and I am very new to oxen. I am a dairy farmer and don’t have a lot of time but I was hoping I could get some advice on how to slow down my team. It seems my boys want to just move so fast when I put them to work. I am not sure how to slow them down.

    Hello. my name is Allison and I have a jersey team I have been training for about 3 years. They are strong and capable of all kinds of jobs. My boys log, pull sled and carts. They have spread compost on the farm and harrow pastures. If you are interested in seeing my team visit my blog.

    Here is a picture of my steer’s cracked horn. Let me know if you have any ideas.

    excellent thoughts and suggestions. I think you guys are right. The boys need some more exercise. They stay cooped up until they are worked. I’ll get them out and running a bit before putting them in the yoke.
    I work for a dairy farm that makes cheese out of Chapel Hill, NC. Jerseys make awesome cheese;)

    I work on a dairy farm and I am herdsmanager here. I am training the boys to pull a cart and sled to do some feeding for the other groups(dry cows, heifers,ext.) Also I want to train them to log a bit. They are also invited to go to a nice event in May. So I want them to relax and slow the pace to mine I just don’t want to hurt their progress. Maybe those sneakers are a good idea. Thanks to everybody for the education.

    Thank you for the idea. I will definently look in to doing just that. With my busy schedule I could use a quicker project. Besides the boys probably won’t mind.
