Elke, I am not sure exactly what your question is. Are you referring to the length of the yoke or the way the team acts in the yoke?

the latter: feet are closer to the teammate of the other side than the body

I suppose a lot of energy gets lost that way instead of ending in a forwards motion

ey another teamster 😮

Working a single bull in a forehead yoke seems correct and interesting to me.

I’d be extremly cautious and careful on that one; bulls are worked in combination with oxen in yokes: slows down an ill-humoured bull but leaves enough spirit for a real heavy load; and the bulls are worked regularly (not just a weekend case…)

what type of neck collar they were using on the cows in the video?

we call it a full-padded collar; they combined it with Sieltec and leather

Anne Wiltafsky relayed to me about a man in Europe who farms with cows and a bull as a single. He has no need for steers to work his farm.

Mr.Kuhlmann, Saulzern, France; one of his bulls is working logs in Kommern

coca cola for weeds? 😎

no problems yet this side of the water

[CharlyBonifaz]

a great way of keeping them from trying to overrun the lead steer,

wouldn’t a heavy load meant for 3 slow them down enough when they try to pull it all by themselves (being 2 only); or turn the argument around: if they indeed can pull it by themselves there is no need for the 3rd ox up front

something else to consider:
the heavier the load, the faster will mine stride out in the beginning

Thanks for the pictures and vids! always enjoyable…

[CharlyBonifaz]

positively troublesome if there are many of them suddenly available; nearly lost a pony to it 🙁

I am not so sure the parasite problem and shedding are related this long after the coccidiosis.

me not either, but:
if I keep in mind, that coccidia live in the mucosal cells and destroy them after they have multiplied in them thus causing the diarrhea, and if I also remember that a heavily distroyed mucosa will never be replaced by villi as delicate as the original ones then I get an idea why there might be a connection even after such a prolonged time

thanks! 😮

from what I understood, there is a ribbon/leather running through the loops around the fetlock (?), that is tied
