Animals train

 

In principle it must be held here surely that each cattle are suitable for

the work, and/or to be trained can and to the work and to clamping services

be used can.

 

Bull, ox or cows

There are sufficient examples from history that also bulls were consulted

for the work. They have the in any case advantage that they are very strong

and are suitable therefore also for heavy course services. Bulls have

however also a very lively temper, which this can make in particular with

not sufficient training and support of the animals in the handling somewhat

difficult and uncontrollable. Now, at least it was to be inserted rather

uncommonly bulls use larger extent and extent to draft work.

 

Oxen and cows played a substantially larger role. Cow strain was still into

the 60's of the past century for nearly all smallrural enterprises a

existenzielle necessity. In many places was the course or work of the cows

more importantly than their milk production or their meat achievement. Were

still genuine three-use cows.

 

The ox attitude required against it a somewhat larger enterprise, that the

attitude of these animals ausschiesslich to clamping services to take the

liberty could and/or the active volume on the enterprises it required.

Depending upon that late, whether oxen were kastriert early (with few

weeks) or (over 1 year), it developed it a typical Ochsenhabitus

(relatively narrowly however very large, long horns, cow-moderate

expression) or looked partly also quite bullig. Also these animals remained

somewhat more temperful opposite the quite umgaenglichen and cosy animals

kastrierten in former times. Perseverance, strength and tenacity indication

however all oxen out.

 

The question, which races are suitable earliest for the draft work would

like I to leave rather unanswered. The fact that the races of the low

mountain ranges (elevator cattle races) were predominantly used for the

work, has to surely do primarily thereby that in the areas in those these

races were held, the cattle strain was still very much longer usual, than

in the low land regions, in which other operating structures were present

and also the degree of the mechanization differed from that of the central

mountain situations. However from these Sitation the elevator cattle

impacts are seen traditional out as the classical course and work cattle.

 

More exact information for the course and work of races already offers the

results of the tractive power examinations of the German agriculture

society, those in the next to last century, and until far in 20. Century

were accomplished.

 

Train

Training the course animals took place always in such a manner that one or

more experienced course animals the animal which can be trained became to

it strained. It could be advanced thus gradually to the tasks. Today many

hobby Bullockies stand however before the question: "as around everything

in the world I begin it that I train the animal as the work or course

cattle". The following simplified proceeding is here outlined short.

 

Select the animal already briefly after the birth

Handling the animal practice, and/or the animal so early wiel possible at

humans accustom. The animal is to get accustomed to the voice and the

intonation of its coach.

Lead the animal at the cord already with few weeks. The animal is to react

to course and pressure and the cord. It is to remain standing at the cord

on command and also again continue.

The animal can be accustomed already promptly at Beschirrung. Over and/or

presenting an old bag, a chain, an easy Kummets or any article over neck

and/or trunk.·

Continual practicing of the necessary commands, which are to control the

animal. Command by voice and/or by effect over Beschirrung/linen etc..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then wird's interesting. The animal should be old however then at least 18

months.·

 

Accustom the animal to a complete and exactly fitting Beschirrung·Attach a

light load (easier branch, motor-car tire or the like), and then a

practicing, practicing, practicing......

Tests and trying of all commands out under the light load, taking

unexpected events (noise into account, fluttering and multicolored tags,

traffic etc. etc.), vary load occasionally and attach also heavier loads.

Only if that can do all 100 % industrial union functioned is begun to

attach a car. And then: Much luck!!!!!
