- Follow on video from Ritchie yoking up.
This video shows getting the bullock team moving out of the yard into the bush and getting into position to chain onto the log. You'll see the steel log shoe which is used in Tasmania. On the mainland, a 2 wheeled log jinker is usually used.
The video also highlights 'stand up' (getting the team ready to pull) 'whooping back', 'gee' (right turn), 'come here' (left turn), 'whoa' and 'steady'.
The team comprises of:
Robin and Ranger (near side and offside leaders)
Tiger and Tom
Digger and Dodger
Lofty and Lively.

That was amazing made a living from horses Training/shoeing my whole life and didn't think oxen were able to be this well trained.
plzzzzzzzzzz
This man's a legend in his own time. What is it about Australia that breeds men like this?
Seen people handle oxen way better than this. Big whip equals a small man.
This is awesome. I have nothing but respect for anyone that can train and work a team like this guy does. I am really glad that there are some people that still have the knowledge of the old skills, we all need to be aware of how we got to where we are and that it was not easy.
I have to ask, is there any advantage to working oxen and mules over a tractor driven skidder?
Having the knowledge, and being able to to it are different. I know how to drive a team of horses. Can I physically do it? Absolutely not it's a total train wreck. A travisty. I agree with you, but a historian can read it in a book and understand it but give him a team and some yokes and tell him to have at it and watch the world burn and die. Anyone that can drive a team, horses, mules, ox, you name it..... I give them utmost respect.
The advantage over tractors...
1 maintenance, tractor repairs are frequently expensive.
2 fuel prices often more than feed prices.
3 teams can do more delicate work (tight areas between trees, soft ground is less torn up by a team)
Lower entry level cost (assuming you train them from calves), they produce some of the best fertilizer you can have, if one gets injured or too old you have a freezer full of food.

Is that a jersey and couple Holstein bulls in the team? If so, glad to see there's use for them besides hamburger. My grandpa had Holsteins for his milking operation.
I oxen were much better in logging in wet swampy ground , their split hoofs made it easier in the mud and the way they pulled , created drainage ?
Managing this many takes a lot of skill!
It does, Betty! Ritchie is a very dedicated and skilled bullock driver.
It is very obvious and they are a well trained set.
Just how my great grandfather used to do it
Interesting. In America, a bullock is a young bull, intact, but in Australia it can be a steer? And we call a bovine trained to the yoke an ox, usually, but not always, a steer, but it can be a cow. Not many train bulls. These all appear to be castrated.
Thanks for your comment and observation. Things are different between the US and Australia with bullocks for sure. Here we pretty much call any bovine in draught work a bullock. We also use age as a guideline - a steer would be up to about age 3yrs / bullock 3-6 years / and oxen would be over 6 years ... but only the real old-timers use the term 'oxen' here ... I personally have a pair of Jerseys who aren't 3 yet and I always call them my steers .. partly because they aren't that well trained and I don't think they deserve the term bullock ... to me bullocks are real working animals.
Watch the cows,they are not content with that slavery work,if they could had a chance,they could buck him out,,,🐂🐄🐃
Fantastic span!
This guys is a bonafide BAD ASS!!
You are right,this is mis using animals,cows are for milk farm,and other agricultural activities,not so slavery like this, there are enough tractors,to do jobs like this now,that man is mad for me,,,!!
They are intelligent bless all of them amen
Esse é covardia porque não amarre na sentura dele e puxa pra ver cm é bom covardia
Greeting am an oxen farmer in Cameroon and I will like to have a talk with you .
Muy bueno
this real richness of life 👌🏻
That’s amazing 🤩
A las vacas se uncen de los cuernos, es donde tienen la fuerza, no son equinos para desarrollar la fuerza con el cuello.
Además, se les pone unas almohadillas para que el duro palo no se le clave al animal y acabe por hacerle una herida.
Good job

Hi

Для чого цей цирк, бідна худоба, а не доста двох биків. А запрягаюте телички. Як би запрягти вас і поганяти лісом.
