Totally amazing animals and I can imagine the amount of training it took to get them this laidback. I can't imagine what 4 people thought to give this video a thumbs down
John Perkins he has done an amazing amount of work with them and is consistent with their ongoing work and training. I hadn't noticed the 'thumbs down' before.
I just sold 2 of my Mini Zebu bull calves that are going to be trained as a team and I can't wait to follow their training. This is amazing and thanks for sharing this video
It is quite impressive that this man is keeping alive the ancient tradition of working with bullocks to do the work that is done with machines in most parts of the world. From the Old Testament in the Bible to the late 1800s in America these animals did a lot of heavy lifting. I do not know what percent of the Covered Wagons that were pulled along the Oregon Trail were pulled by Oxen but it was it was a majority . How heavy is that Yoke the man is putting on the bullocks.?
I like the way you folks down under build your bows as they lean forward a bit lessening the chance of choking the ox.I think ya'll build them out of metal where here in the South we make them out of wood (hickory, ash, white oak). Also, you use the same commands as do we here in the South with those people driving them entirely differently. Here, as with you, you have more than one yoke of cattle working together to make a 3 or 4 yoke team. I wonder what cultural ties we have with ya'll for we to be so similar as opposed to those up North?
I can't seem to make this thing behave to reply to the gentleman who addressed me so I'll just comment again. Not to sound rude but I know what the yoke is and I know what the bow is and yes, Australian yokes are made of wood (I figured Eucalyptus as that I think is your primary tree there) but the bow, that which goes under the oxs' neck and into the yoke, is not wood but metal. They seem to pitch forward at the bottom 1/3 which doesn't restrict the steer's windpipe thus making breathing harder. I would like to get a pattern of one so we could try them here in Mississippi as we still work and use oxen from our native Woods cattle.

The people who gave this excellent video the thumbs down, just shows their ignorance and lack of comprehension.

fasx56 The yoke for bullocks this size would weigh about 18kgs. Not much when shared between these boys.
I love how they all stand there and get in line not even being attached to anything. awesome team.
Thanks Cindy, they are my mate's team and he has done a lot of work with them. They are very well trained.
im hoping to train a team for myself, always been somthing I wanted to do.
