I can tell you those two Oxen are pampered more than most dogs and cats in this world. They are the pride and joy of that old Farmer. I bet they get the very best hay and grain to eat.

Well, this is completely new to me. I'm totally perplexed how they pull with their heads and with how sweet and placid they are. They must be pampered and babied like crazy. They just follow their person out like little puppies lol!

This is NOT cruel, this doesn't hurt them, cattle are tough and strong animals, oxen are very well cared for, as for the harness or yokes used, these are more comfortable than people think. Cattle are trained for this may actually like being in a yoke and pulling loads. People, think before you post.

Love these wonderful and timeless competitions...long may they live.

That is amazing an animal can pull 4000 lbs+..now I get the phrase "strong as an ox"..like literally..AMAZED!

I love the kid and his oxen at 10:50 these animals are so powerful. The one is chewing his cud like is another day at the office. I also love how responsive they are to him considering the size difference (which is a big thing for cows) but you can still see they don't quiet listen to him well when they set up and when he wants them to stop.

...You could tell the old man in the beginning Loved his animals...;--),,,,,,,,

Amazing natural strength and power. All from eating grass.

I saw this out in Gore NS yrs 2010....incredible...oxen look like they're barely awake & when load comes on they're quick as cats.

I love your oxes so much my brother likes them too

that was awesome. beautiful oxen

I just came from the Draft Horse video, and yep, the Horses are definitely stronger. Even more so than those huge cows at 30:55.

This is so cool I knew that they did this for horses but I don't know that they did it for ox

My dad took me to these in Rapid City South Dakota watching the horses pull sacks of green salt blocks mineral blocks and watch the ox also

The gentleman at 30:55 appears to care very much for his animals.

It’s impressive to watch these beasts pull such heavy weight. I can’t make out for sure how much each block weighs, also what state are they in?

Not sure if I agree with this, but they are such smart and powerful animals

So much strength so much big I ain't gonna atop lovin them bam bam like them never gonna stop 👨

Very cool. I wasn't expecting the results. Outstanding!

Ox pull in ns is my favorite

Its a new for me, i like it, better Them traktor pulling. ❤❤

This so good

I dig the fancy headstalls. Would love to have a working relationship with such magnificent beasts.

Why cant the ox pull the weight from their chest like horses?

what is the weight of those bulls ???.....

I have a question??? Are those blocks of wood what? Ballsa wood or oak that has been soaking in water?? I don't know he'll that could be fussing Styrofoam!! Just because they are picking it up with a cran that does not mean it is heavy!! So what is it??

How to pass the time in the countryside..... watch your dinner pull a few logs

These oxen are strong enough to move cars out of the way.

thank you for posting this, it was interesting, but I hope the youngster with the 24 on his shirt watched this video and saw what he was doing with the whip, and subsequently corrected his handling technique. he might have been well-intentioned but too nervous to really realize what he was doing with the whip, which is understandable, or it may have been something else, but he was not using the whip sparingly or not at all like the other handlers. Instead he was slapping it around almost incessantly, hitting the one animal's face much more often than not, causing it to flinch, blink, and try to duck his head away to protect himself. It's a wonder the animal could concentrate on his work of the pull at all, as he was so busy the whole time trying to protect his face. Maybe because the youth was younger and lighter than the other handlers, the whip was needed a little in training (?), but even so its use here is clearly excessive (though maybe unintentional). and it is sad to see the one animal just trying to stand calmly between pulls, but being switched with the whip almost constantly about the face. It would have been REALLY nice to see an experienced hand (event organizer, trainer, or another handler) step in to give the youngster a heads up to what he was doing or some guidance on the matter, for his own growth as a handler if he is to continue with this event, and for the good of his team and of the event. I hope the boy has realized that the other handlers before and after him got good results too from these powerful animals without whipping at them constantly, and the other teams were treated with gentle authority and respect which reflected well on the men handling them. Also, the other teams were rewarded between pulls with strokes or pats, which were well deserved for their tremendous efforts. I noticed someone walking by and patting the swatted ox at the end of the pull, which was nice to see -- I guess they thought he deserved a pat too, for effort and for putting up with all the whipping. Hopefully he also said something constructive to the boy. Number 24: I just realized this was posted last year, and you have probably grown up quite a bit more since this video was posted, and even here it seemed you had good potential to be a great handler if you wanted to be one, and take some guidance from the others. It seems you have a calm and powerful team that wants to work for you -- give them some pats too now and then along with their training, lose the whip as much as possible, and they will keep pulling with all their impressive might for you. but you may have already done all of that! anyway, if you read this, good luck!

With horses they do strait pulls for a certain distance .why do they keep stopping for such short distance with the oxen

Their horns are sturdy enough to be a pull point? I didnt know that.

i know its old n first time ive ever seen anything involving cows horse pulls i understand but it sure seems like the kid with 24 on shirt was causing his cows to not want to pull, maybe out of fear id rather be behind a team of horses then standing infront of a pair of cows!

what breed are these oxen that the kids are using?

Here comes strength man god

That second one is very strong but could drag more, if it were to pull with the head straight and down, but was lifting the neck to high.

Why are they making them pull with their necks?

I feel like there's a lot more going on here than what we realize.

Very gut

If grandpa saw that kid whacking those oxen in the face with that goad Jr. Would be doing laps around the woodshed.

The audio is terrible what is the weight it is muffled echoing I think I heard 4200 lbs at one point but I'm not sure my grandfather used to do this

amazing. beautiful.

Why do they only pull for a short distance at a time and then start all over again this somebody explain to me the competition works

Passionnant ! de jouer avec des légos !

Que pecado lo que asen con los animales ponga los artos los dueños aver si lo asen es pecado

Ongole bulls which are available in Andhra Pradesh state in India are more powerful than this and they can easily pull the top weight pulled by these bulls and the ongole bulls are known as Brahmin bulls

es un deporte bello pero los toros tienen el cable de arrastre muy corto y eso hase que se lastimen las pezuñas deberían de ponerlos mas largos

Now comes the heavy weights!

free gym subscription for these beasts

Последняя пара 👊👍

one day for the man, a hundred for the oxen.

Why is it writing "TURK" on the strap of the bull at 29:40? What does that actually mean?

those bulls are like WTF

Very difficult for animals

What is the weight of each billet that someone can tell me, greetings from Brazil

👍👍💖

can anyone estimate the weight of those oxen plz ?..........

Looks pretty boring from a spectator's point of view, but I can appreciate the craft.

the kid tried to hard to force the weight on the oxen you could see it

lo que es no tener que hacer carajo!

Someone please educate me

E bem mais interessante do que a tourada, essa os bois são treinados parabéns

Hi

Coanti Kg tirano?

Uber cool

Our

Wait until PETA sees this...

Which country is this?

The old man at the first pull ran off so fast when he left the arena he almost left is oxens behind.

oigan dejen esos animalitos quietos hombre porque los maltratan...cuelgense esas vainas ustedes y tiren de ellas si les parece tan bueno.

The guy should not be able to pull also.

Not as exciting as horse pulling. But love ya all and cool.

Ok kid 25 your tickin me off keepin on hitting him in the face.

The record is?

The kid at 10:36 needs more practice!

why do they hit them in the heads to go? that's a little mean. not hard enough to hurt them,but rude to the Ox. that head gear is so buitiful tho!

We humans are weird and never treat animals kindly.

These ox are more well behaved than the horses. Cant believe how well behaved they are. The horses are so jumpy.

Kinda neat but the way they do it would make for a long and boring event.

Ameging hard vark

Poor chain!!!!

Look at Ox here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gt6RjKqcsbPPdoE.html

ไอ้พวกสัตทำไมมึงไม่มาดึงกันเองวะจะเอาเค้ามาทรมานทำไมไอ้พวกจันไร

That’s just plain cruel, like other ‘sports’ that push animals to over perform. Put a yoke on your own forehead and pull a load of blocks.

Omg die Armen!!!!!

😕😓💔

Oxens don't belong on display

Astagfiruloh d siksa... Kasihan
