Cain & Abel, Oxen Calves at the George Ranch Historical Park


The George Ranch Historical Park received two Longhorn calves from The George Foundation late last year.  The historical interpreter in charge of the 1830s Stock Farm is training them to do all the tasks they'd have done back then: haul a wagon, drag a sled & pull a plow.  He's making their yokes, harnesses, wagon, sled, et cetera by hand.  

The calves are named Cain & Abel.  I filmed one of their training sessions in early January. You can view a 6-minute clip by clicking on the following link.
