[@ZeeNastee]

I love musk ox, definitely one of my favorite animals. They remind me of the wooly rhino and wooly mammoth but they're still here with us. ❤

[@tinh_lai_ivietnam5253]

Thank you for show casing the Musk ox family. I love them.

[@Pamastrike]

[@MuskOxFarmOfficial]

While we understand the sentiment, we don't recommend it! 😂

I love her

[@billhogue9523]

Such a beautiful, powerful animal.

[@annahorecka6128]

So so adorable 🥰

[@born-environment-0002]

It gained self awareness and uses it for evil ❤

[@davide051qwer]

Este es el animal mas impresionante que tanto me cautivó por su belleza y por su habitad tan duró, en las estepas tan heladas .

[@17ftAbove]

Muskox is simply CUTE. Compare to all other "Cow" species, Muskox gives ppl a "civilized" impression.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Actually here's a little fun fact despite the musk ox appearance these animals are not related to cows at all they're actually closely related to goats and sheep

[@MuskOxFarmOfficial]

Bravo! That is correct. A lot of folks also assume that they are related to bison, but they're just big ol' Ice Age goats!

[@s_caat_c1702]

They are sheeps

[@REMAINS1666]

Srry freind there actually related more to sheep and goats than cows

[@johnhoney5089]

Muskoxen are closer to sheep. Some early muskoxen like Euceratherium have been described as "A big goat with bull horns."

[@JohnDoe-mh5mf]

Love this channel!

[@jkenny1971]

Safety's fantastic!

[@matimus100]

[@Simbosan]

She can dance if she wants to? Now she's left her friends behind

[@MuskOxFarmOfficial]

The Safety Dance was just playing in the office yesterday, and we immediately thought of how it's Safety's theme song! 😂

[@santamulligan676]

She’s lovely

[@aspen9326]

I like her

[@geraldofabianoartes3074]

Lindo demais parabens. Grande abraço Brasil

[@gabrielmauller8137]

“She’s not in charge out here.” Sure she’s not.

[@holgerfarber194]

now i found the perfect livestock guardian animal :)

[@danielvibez4000]

At 1:19 when you called your ox a bottle baby it kind of hurt her. You can then see her reaction that she moaned and looked away cause she misses her mom. I don't know what to call her but maybe you could have said it nicer.

[@villiamkarl-gustavlundberg5422]

They dont look anything like goats but actually they're goats.

[@indyreno2933]

Actually, muskoxen are not goats at all, they are part of the family Bovidae just like goats are.

[@NIGHTNOTLOC]

Nah. I'm petting her. Heheh

[@lord_9923]

I’m going to own that monster

[@Veol789or3]

I have have a pet musk ox in adopt me Roblox ☺️☺️☺️

[@zeitgeist5134]

You don't even PET them?!? Wha-a-at??? I don't understand. And, by the way, I would REALLY like to ride one. Even better than Shetland ponies! Oh! Oh! A whole bunch of kids riding muskoxen, frolicking around the pasture. I wanna see it, I really do.

[@MuskOxFarmOfficial]

😂😂 We know it SOUNDS like an ideal situation, but trust us - it's not! Maybe someday, when they're fully domesticated like cows. These are truly powerful animals, even the smallest females are 500-600 pounds. Even if they are just trying to play with you, it can turn into a very dangerous situation very quickly! That's why we work so hard to build the relationship we have with our herd, because they need to respect us as the dominant one, not their equals. Otherwise, we'd get nothing accomplished and we wouldn't be able to handle them gently like we do!

[@zeitgeist5134]

@@MuskOxFarmOfficial How nice of you to reply. I am also wondering, do you need to trim their hooves regularly?

[@MuskOxFarmOfficial]

@@zeitgeist5134 we don't need to trim their hooves unless we see one with a really long one that's bothering them! They don't like their feet being touched, so to trim them would mean we'd have to sedate them, something we only do when absolutely necessary. Their hooves trim themselves naturally by chipping off on rocks in the wild - we don't have rocks for them to climb around on here, but we do have some concrete surfaces that they have to walk across when on their way to the barn for weekly weigh-ins and it helps keep their hooves trimmed!

[@ernestsire4207]

Need to name one Elon.

[@manka960]

I love it when animals identify as a human hahah 🎉🎉🎉
