yoke size?

[longshot38]

how do you determine the proper size for a yoke? i think i can figure out the size for the bends if i use a plyable wire to find the proper spacing and legnth and bend the wood to that shape and size. but how do you get the proper size for the wooden “beam”

thanks

I got some good information from Tillers international. http://www.tillersinternational.org/sales/pubYokes.html
They have some guides on making yokes, templates and other publications for sale at reasonable prices.

There are many things that dictate the yoke size. Long horns, fat cattle, tillers does have good info. My 6inch yoke is 47 inches from tip to tip.
