Meet Chub and Jerry: 4,900 pounds of stump-pulling bovine.

Chas S. Clifton said...: Well, something original there. The last time I saw an ox named Jerry, he was yoked with . . . you guessed it . . . Tom.; 11:57 PM, August 02, 2013

They started pulling what the top draft team failed. watching 2 cows pulling well over 10k lbs is unbelievable. Dirt and snot flying, and when it's done they stand at the edge of the ring like nothing happened. Nothing like horse pulls.; 1:03 AM, August 04, 2013

"For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire."
