Matthews Farm Museum in Galax, VA is hosting the OXtober FEST in partnership with Hinesite Milking Devons on Saturday Oct. 3. This is a workshop opportunity for the curious to see, ask, learn, try; and for ox owners to network and help one another. Barbeque of local meats and Jersey-milk ice cream are on the lunch menu. Camping allowed. Registration is requested. Check out Ox Workx Galax on facebook. Contact Kendy Sawyer at ksawyer2009@gmail.com
I plan to attend. We'll be starting bottle calves. At least four experienced teams and owners are coming. Working dog demo including a dog pulling a sulky, items for sale or trade, videos, roundtable discussions, and who knows what further fun and interesting happenings with delightful folks are in store.
