At Howell Farm, a new team of draft animals is always an exciting and interesting time. More details to come.
This morning, Farmer Rob yoked up Howell Farm's new team of oxen and took them for a spin. With great vigor, Jim and John pulled a cart of brush to the brush pile. The maiden voyage was a success, though its pace was a little faster than Rob would have preferred. Part of the challenge was the light load. Rob is waiting on a new better fitting yoke before using the new team for heavy pulling.
