Guest guest Posted May 18, 1999 Report Share Posted May 18, 1999 It occured to me today something we maybe should have put in the standards. Oxen get bigger than cows. Oxen in the US are raised mostly for slaughter, which is to say that the most economic weight gains are at about the age of 2, when the ox is still about the size of a cow. So all fences pre existing , or directions for fences will be for that size animal. However, oxen will continue to slowly grow for another 2 or 3 years, and get a good bit bigger, which means some of them will be able to go over the fences. So fences in VAD villages should be built a little taller than regular fences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
