    @ OldKat, if I got into oxen I would use Afrikaners or Ngunis. Bonsmaras cant really take the cold in our part of the country. We the coldest part of South Africa, temperature drops to about -19 deg Celcius. Also the Bonsmara breeders are further north in the country. Whereas I know of farmers in my district who have Afrikaaners. Also my Grandfather used Afrikaner oxen up to the 50s so Id like to continue the “tradition”. My grandfather had two spans of 14 oxen each.
    They pulled a two furrow plow and then mealies (corn) were planted afterwards.

    What part of South Africa is your friend from?

    Regards
    Russel
