Oxen
What is an Ox?

An ox is a castrated bull, yep, a steer, that is trained to be a draft animal, and to pull wagons and other animal powered machinery.


Over the weekend my significant other and I went to the auction at Toppenish on Saturday. We went there not planning on buying anything, however, at the end of the cattle sale, there were 3 groupings of Jersey bull calves. Well, we picked 2 of them up for $5 each, yep, that's right, we paid $10 for the two of them.

They are adjusting nicely to their new home. I hope that with in the next couple days I can get out and start getting them halter broke.

Here are a couple pictures. These are not the best pictures, and I hope to have some new ones up later in the week.

As sometimes happens in life, we lost Red about a week and half ago.

Here are some updated pictures of Spunky. He is doing well and thriving very nicely. He gets a bottle at 7 am and at 5 pm. He has access to calf starter all day and fresh water. I am working on halter breaking him.
