This comprehensive class creates skills in driving, training, and yoking in a sequence of hands-on experiences. Enjoy well-trained oxen responding to your voice commands. Learn to select, team, and care for oxen. Use low-stress training to teach calves. Drive teams hitched to various loads, practice field tasks, and try your hand at early shop skills to shape your own small yoke (materials charges added for yokes with more than a six inch bow width). If you have a team, ask about bringing it. Make this the outstanding experience of your year!
"Dick, Dulcy, and John are excellent, patient teachers! The interns were also excellent - I was amazed at their wealth of knowledge! Great personalities." -student, 2008
"I really appreciated having so many different animals and equipment to work with. It was a great way to do so much in a relatively short time. The kitchen table talk each morning was a good way to start the day. Working on the yokes was perfect for taking a break from driving. John's demos were excellent. I was thoroughly pleased with the course. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and personable." -student, 2008
