[QUOTE="dun, post: 105441, member: 34"] Sure am! Actaully "working steers", won;t be oxen until they're mature. This year one thing and another conspired to keep me too busy to start training any calves and the only Milking Shorthorn herd around here had some pretty poor (and sickly) calves. I only use them for skidding stuff out of the woods and pulling a stoneboat for cleaning up the rocks in the fields. Never have been in the competitive side. Oxen are a pretty rare sight in this neck of the woods but I've always gotten along better with cattle then horses or mules. dun[/quote] Are you going to get Chianinas? I take it this is not your first time owning and training working steers?[/quote] No offense meant but I wouldn;t have a Chi on a bet.
