Oxen
Meet Red & River, our team of oxen. We purchased these steers at 4 weeks of age from Lady Grove Milking Shorthorns in Kleefeld, Manitoba. We have been training them for draft purposes since they were 5 weeks old. Red and River were born in September, 2009 and now fully grown they weigh around 2200 lbs each!
Draft animals can be much more agile than tractors and heavy equipment, and therefore excel at certain types of field work. We farm with the use of tractors as well, but embrace both traditional farming methods as well as modern farming innovation. Organizations such as Tiller’s International work throughout the world at helping farmers make the best use of draft animal power in a modern world.
Red & River’s friendly disposition make them a joy to work with. They genuinely love human contact, have a willingness to work when asked, and have a level of intelligence that most people would never realize.
