We were lucky enough to take in the
Shelburne Fair while we were in Nova
Scotia which included the Ox Hauls. We were so amazed at how large the ox were, I had no idea!!
Well these two were not that big but they were only 2 months old. We found out the trainer for these two little guys is a 6 year old boy!
This guy looked at me like I was crazy when I asked him if I could take a picture of his team of oxen, I'm sure he was thinking stupid American tourist. We did not stay for the entire ox haul but about half way through this particular pair was still winning.
The team of oxen weighed 3,250 lbs. and were able to pull 11,600 lbs. - what an amazing thing to witness.
