Training Oxen

- with Drew Conroy and Tim Huppe, present information on training a handy team of oxen using three kinds of commands - verbal, body position and physical touch. The step-by-step program starts with selecting calves, handling the animals in the barn, establishing training goals and pre-yoke training. They then move to how to yoke the team, hitch and work them, prepare for competition and doing practical work. This video clearly demonstrates that anyone with an interest in cattle can have the satisfaction of training a team. See how much progress you can make in the minimum training time of one month to educate and condition the cattle. 2 hours. DVD available from Rural Heritage.
the stick is an extension of the hand - the girl was not "hitting" the animal (as in beating or whipping). This type of driving is to teach the animal and give it directions and keep it focused. It is never meant to hurt or be painful. The apple you suggest comes later (when they're not working) and builds the relationship of trust and friendship with the animals. The stick helps them understand what you want them to do in the moment and is never meant to hurt the animal.
I disagree with one of the last statements "They are not very bright!" Well, that is very much dependent on the individual and I have met very smart oxen in my life. I believe in being a bit mean and lean when it comes to work, but overly generous when it comes to rest and play. Rewarding good behaviour is EVERYTHING.
These oxen trainers are wonderful people and the oxen look healthy and happy!
Wow. This is cool. When I was a kid in the 70's (I'm 55) my dad trained his steer when the steer was ...oh, three...maybe...we worked him solo for many years.
Great video. Thanks.
as soon as possible i started going in the pen with my two bulls (soon to be steer) when they were 3 days old the sooner the better just before you start halter breaking them make sure they arnt scared of you good luck
Hello
❤❤❤❤
"They're not very bright" 😱 I'm still new to the whole oxen scene, but this is blasphemous! I'll have you know these are VERY intelligent creatures. How dare you insult the very pride and joy of our work like that... despicable.
You must be a Hindu Indian
oxen are slower and less muscular than horses, but they are easier to care for and require less feed。Because cattle are ruminants, their ability to digest grass is significantly higher than that of horses, so they do not need the high-nutrient feed that horses need。
Cattle can work continuously for six hours a day, and horses can work eight hours a day. But cattle are better able to adapt to complex terrain than horses.
Horses can easily injure their legs plowing in muddy fields because they only have one toe.
The water buffalo, on the other hand, is born for mud. The buffalo is slower than the ox, but the size and strength of the buffalo are higher than the ox.The genes of the swamp buffalo make it more capable of focusing and communicating with people than cattle or horses.
this is wonderful! We have two baby bulls and we want to train them - they are about 4 weeks old- when do you start?-- All these bulls here are beautiful and so happy to be engaged! I greatly admire you and applaud you for this important service-- and thanks for the video!
thanks- yes we are going to turn them into steers in a few months - they are learning commands now and are doing really well! now they are about 3 months old! I can't wait to see them learn everything- unfortunately we really have no soil here fpr them to plough but maby we can hook them up with a cart or something fun like that
Ouch!!
So, do Saint Paul's letters correctly use the Yoked Ox metaphors correctly? Is unequally Yoke accurate for OX and for Christians?
When you say cattle and oxen, do you use those terms interchangeably or are you talking about two different beasts?
cattle need to see a stick or they forget and stand there . look at at you and laugh . hang onto a stick they work with you and remember haha. pretty cool animals . smart enough to get there way .
What breed are the white cattle? Are they Chianina?
These are chihuahuas
Why don't you tried Indian bull or watch an video of Indian bull cart
👌🏻😄
I'm sorry pal, you might think cows aren't very bright? There's no such thing as a stupid animal. Not cow,not horse,not donkey. Cow's are far smarter than people realize.....
Pooping in the feed trough or waterer is not the sign of a "smart" animal. It is not like they have a big open area to do that in.

I think I prefer not trainee oxen with head stuff wood I rather not cuz it will not make them too comfortable look at them.. they look like hard to walk. Which is not very acceptable at all for me because it is just try find other gentle trainee!
Bastards treating them as slaves
Total dumbshit

I believe an ox is a bull (male cattle) that has been neutered (gelded) like a steer except later in life than a steer usually is. Gelding later in life gives it more muscle than a steer
