Teams of oxen help pull the Orleans County Grammar School on Monday in Brownington, Vt. Hundreds of people showed up to watch the building, built in 1823, move back to its original site.
The 105-ton timber-frame school building was moved Monday up a hill by an engine on the back of a barge-like rolling platform that filled both lanes of the narrow country road. The 44 oxen, well, they were there more for show and to give the 900 or so onlookers a feel of what it might have been like to move the house back in the day.

Fascinating Raaike :-))

I remember seeing the oxen pulling events at the county fair but other than that I don't have much knowledge of them Randy. Actually I looked up oxen on google just to make sure I understood what they were.

Cool that oxen are a 4-H project. Oxen were so important in settling this country. I'm glad they haven't become extinct. And that there are still folks who learn the art of training and handling them.

nice to see/. :-)))♥

It looks like they were turning a corner here Randy. Impressive isn't it?
I was rather surprised myself RiverCity.
Jerrys, I learned from one article I read that the oxen were 4H projects for these youngsters (in the green shirts). Interesting info about your sisters collage requirement. Thanks for sharing that,

Thanks for sharing this image! To get her college degree in large animal management, among other requirements my younger sister had to meet was the training of a yoke of oxen...a real challenge for a woman who usually dealt with horses!
