Turbo-charged cattle – old school!

[bivol]

hi!

wanted to post this vid i found, and it will dis-spell any thought about cattle being calm and slow BY NATURE – it is we human who made them this way. in fact, i dare say that same nature equipped them with a turbo-charger, as one can clearly see looking these two little cows work! boy here the original description of the auerochs comes to mind (fast, nimble, and ferocious!)

so, vid is here.

it’s about two cows (and their driver), cows are of spanish fighting cattle breed, are small, black and – fast!!

notice how fast and high-strung these animals are! almost like, no, more, than an arabian horse!

oh, and not only this, they’re fast, AND they keep up for hours – notice the sun being lower (shadows) at the end of the day, and the cows are still not going much slower!

one must really give credit to people who managed to tame and train such animals… they have my respect.

maaybe these small, fast cattle could be used for riding too…:rolleyes: …Ixy?

Only just spotted this – thanks bivol! Not only a good pace, but also impeccably patient about ebing prepared…even i got bored watching! i like the woven fly masks though, nice touch!

This is one of the best videos I have seen on this site. It was amazing to see them put that style of head yoke on. Very cool.

I have to agree with Kevin, that was a very cool video!

They like to talk when they drive.

Here is a related video that I found from the first one posted. These guys are using the same style head yoke and most impressive is that they are driving bulls!
