| Hopefully this picture posting thing will work here. Here's the story. My Grandpa was killed in an accident last November. He was 86. He loved breaking and driving his 3 teams of Scottish Highlander oxen. He was passionate about his animals. None in the surviving family have the time or passion he did with the oxen, but the family would like to sell the oxen to folks who would continue working them and share his enthusiasm. We are now ready to start the process of locating buyers for the oxen/equipment. This is a unique situation, not like a piece of farm equipment, thus the post here. Maybe NAT readers would have some thoughts.

N.C. Oregon | Do a search for an animal powered site. Most have sale pages on them. I just bought someone's herd but do not plan on yoking any. I just sold my fjord teams last April due to that aging gracefully thing.

| Northwest Kansas. The golden colored team was actually paraded in a big frontier day parade in Miles City, Montana. Grandpa loved parades and showing off his critters. |
