AllForage, they are grass fed. :lol:
I went to Ole Washington Days Celebration yesterday. Washington is an obsolete town outside Maysville, KY. It was the original settlement on the Ohio River because Maysville's current location on the river was too dangerous because Indians would float down and attack from the river. When the indians were defeated, the town moved to where Maysville is because of river commerce. Ole Washington has the only log cabin post office in the US.

There was a team of oxen there. 2200 hundred pounds, 66 inches tall. Broke to verbal commands. I finally met someone who loves bovines in the way I do (not talking about clitoris here guys :lol: ). George the lead oxen is amazing. He will step forward or backward on hand signals and word commands. Even pick his feet up. Gerry said George will not let the Vet give him shots but Gerry can put a needle in while George just stands there. Good thing they don't need to be put in a squeeze chute. They look and are much bigger than the clip makes them look. But the one in the clip is a Durham steer and is Gerry's smallest. Gerry Barker is a cool guy, 70, Wagoner, Bullwhacker and writer. Retired from special forces. He was holding a young mouse cupped between his hands when I met him. He found the critter in the ox wagon and did not want to kill it. Here is a clip of him, George although the smallest of his 6 oxen is the strongest, Gerry is sitting on George:
